Pure fun and joy to be alive

[@MarshallArtz007]

Such a marvelous piece! Great to see Wynton Marsalis in the orchestra. 😎🎹

[@inklesswells]

And Hakan Hardenberger! And I bet the other players are just as heavy even if we don't recognize them

[@mariatartini1146]

When musicians have so much fun oh yezzzzzz l love it. There are several compositions not same lucky like this one, Sibelius Mahler or Prokofiev are so sad, hallucinating, they break my heart, wishing them orchestra directors pull out the cheerful romantic nice positive side of some compositions, they deserve to have the same success for the audience, don't you think? Think about it Ok? In the meanwhile, big loving hug all gorgeous Verbier Festival performers, fans love youuuuu guys Ok?

Happy celebrations 🥂🎁🍀🙋👍💐🍾🎉🎂🤗🌺🌈💎👏🦋👌

[@tylernichols9650]

My favorite piece ever! Love it! But the best part of this recording was how all the musicians genuinely looked like they were having fun playing it!

[@Bibili255aw]

❤❤❤

[@jbbevan]

Klaus has way too much fun doing whatever piece he tackles.

0:44 j’ai eu l’occasion d’être présente à ce concert à Verbier qui était magnifique, avec tant d’artistes sur scène. Et j’avoue que Makala m’a impressionnée. Bien sûr c’est une question de goût, mais je le préfère en tant que chef d’Orchestre plutôt que violoncelliste solo. Ça fait quand même du bien de voir des jeunes chefs d’orchestre fringants et mobiles.🎉🎉

[@paulpua95]

His conducting style reminds me of Carlos Kleiber. Elegant, poigant. Love it

[@mauryq2150]

He looks more like Bernstein

[@DmitriShostakovichDSCH]

my absolute favorite conductor :D

[@emilyhutjes]

Conductor Klaus on fire ! 🌷🌷🌷

[@stevieb6368]

He obviously can't beat 7 in the bar!

[@judithnelson1665]

The best , as yet, online performance better even then the NY Phil.

[@music8247]

Удивительный дирижер! Такой молодой и очень талантливый. Успехов ему!

[@user-ig3vw9vg5d]

Дирижёр огонь!!!! Красавчик!

[@TheMetroGnome]

I'm jelly

[@bloodgrss]

What a tendency to overpraise this young conductor! He can be good, or bad (as in his poor Sibelius cycle). Most orchestras know the music, and the conductor simply needs to go along with them. As one critic put it, he is the current Ken Doll of conducting, lauded as much for his youthful looks and love affair with Yuja Wang as anything substantial musically. There is talent, but let's wait to anoint him as the next Kleiber or Bernstein until we really have indisputable musical proof...

[@reamartin6458]

Well said, it’s truly disgusting. Second rate talent with a first rate PR team can do wonders these days…

[@MrsSedley]

@@reamartin6458 There's always one, or two in this case. Where do your grudges come from? The Sibelius cycle is outstanding IMO. Maybe ask the players? I haven't heard any who don't think he's extraordinary.

[@reamartin6458]

Review: Mäkelä Makes Mincemeat Out Of Sibelius. And I’ve spoken to many musicians about this person, some of whom performed for the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra. You are a very uninformed listener, and you don’t know exactly who you’re talking to.

[@jakovskok1465]

​@@MrsSedley you say grudges, I say it's about healthy criticism, something that slowly disappears as time goes on. Why does everyone have to praise him like he's some newborn god of conducting? Yeah, I get it, you like his Sibelius cycle, but there are some of us who didn't and won't forget some other ones (and there are faaar better ones, imho). Accept that as a fact.

[@JT-qr8lt]

Live and let live!

[@reamartin6458]

Absolute rubbish
