Very detailed, vivid interpretation!! It's refreshing to find such young yet steady talent in classical music.

My very dear Klaus, you are absolutely incomparable, what a real great pleasure to see you and your videos, no matter what you are conducting, love you 🙌💞🔥🔥🔥💞🙌

[Artist_Aejoo]

Maestro Klause ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing

[berrymunchkin]

I really enjoyed this performance and it does take me to that place as if I was there. Everyone from this orchestra have outdone themselves and deserves the best recognition there is. I'm so overwhelmed by all this. More power and blessings to come!!!😆👏👏

O REQUIEM MAIS LINDO DA HISTÓRIA DA MÚSICA, SÓ PODIA SER DE

[crustyafs]

This comment section is full of narrow-minded, negative trolls. Stop discouraging young people from enjoying the world of classical music by being condescending. Music is up to interpretation, everyone does it differently, there’s no wrong or right way to play it. Stop judging him

[mariatartini]

The Music is SUBLIME!!! and Mäkelä' s conducting is really GREAT!!!

[obiwan]

I read "Klaus Mäkelä conducts Dies", skipped a heartbeat...

[rowkayzg]

Sibelius, Essa-Pekka Salonen, Mr. Rouveli, Mr. Makela...the Finns are music^s hot stuff!!!

[zelimircabraja]

Klaus is the best young conductor on the planet but that was a way too furious.

[GeertMeertens]

A serious classical music channel would mention such a detail as the orchestra that is playing.

[papillon]

One could think that the conductor is in a discotheque and throws himself into self-portrayal. A successful counter-example to him would be Karl Böhm, rare in his movements and everyone knows what needs to be done.

I will keep my recordings by Bohm, Bernstein, Mackerras, Colin Davis...

[aaron]

Well done. But for me, too many novelties and personal flourishes. I still prefer Karajan.

[victorvillatoro]

Big fan of Klaus and forever admirer of Mozart but the tempo for this was simply far too fast.

[Insolitus]

It seems there are two kinds of conductors, the ones which are conservative and believing that music must represent the composer more, then themselves and ones which are more liberal and individualistic, they believe that the composer, being long dead anyway, created mere borders and they are free to interpret his work the way that suits themselves. The problem with such individualistic approach is that not every liberal conductor is genius enough to be able to match the composer. The good thing is that sometimes individualistic approach can give a sense of new understanding of music. As much as it a good thing, in this case someone arguably talented gave a chance to his emotion and starstruckness. He believed that in this world of virality and imperfectionism it is better to be original than self-critical. Well, to me that was a bad performance.

I could tell the age of the conductor as soon as the first measure was over. Extreme speed. It’s not all about speed, it is musicality. If you think speed is the coolest even in Mozart’s Ides Irae, please get more music education.

[NeritaPokvytyte]

After listening Bernstein, it’s hard to believe in this version. Poor ideas for choir. Though fine musicians!

[iama]

It is insane. This is not music. Anything but... Go to Abbado, to Giulini, to Bernstein and others, and then you'll know what music is... and Mozart.

[reamartin]

Such original repertoire, not! he’s missing his lipstick 💄
