“Classical music is an international language. It’s not interested in where you’re from or what you look like. There’s no borders for classical music.”
On our latest episode of the Live Curiously podcast, Music Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra Jaap van Zweden, a truly 21st century conductor, was lucid about classical’s music ability to transcend. For JOYCE Sounds, van Zweden compiles his conducted works by great composers including Mahler, Bruckner and Wagner as well as his favourite piano concerto by Mozart performed by Vladimir Horowitz. A spot of Sinatra and Earth, Wind, Fire ends this maestro’s tour de force playlist.
