Salonen Conducts Beethoven’s Pastoral
Principal Cello Rainer Eudeikis takes center stage in Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Cello Concerto conducted by the composer. Bookending the concerto are two works inspired by the natural world: Beethoven’s unapologetically pictorial Sixth Symphony and Debussy’s swelling, sparkling oceanic triptych La Mer.
