In repetitie: Mariss Jansons

Latvian maestro Mariss Jansons (1943-2019) was one of the world's leading conductors. He served as Music Director of the Oslo Philharmonic from 1979 to 2000, during which time he transformed the orchestra into a front-rank ensemble. Under his leadership, the orchestra toured extensively and became a favorite at major festivals worldwide. The Oslo Philharmonic was celebrated for its fresh, open sound and for Jansons's passionate interpretations of works by Dmitri Shostakovich, Richard Strauss, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and B?la Bart?k. In this episode of "In Rehearsal," Jansons guides the orchestra through the powerful Suite from Bart?k's pantomime ballet The Miraculous Mandarin, culminating in a performance at the Oslo Concert Hall.
