James Judd conducts Franck and Saint-Saëns

The Noord Nederlands Orkest loves unconventional approaches, and Saint-Saëns' popular Second Piano Concerto fits in well with that. He immediately grabs the audience by having the soloist open the piece instead of the orchestra. Father Franck is not inferior to his colleague. With his remarkable, multifaceted compositions, he was a great figure in the symphony genre. On the piano, you will hear Daniel Kharitonov (1998), who won a whole series of prominent classical music prizes even before his tenth birthday. He now tours regularly with the Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra. The musicians are conducted by James Judd, renowned for his successful collaboration and recordings with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
