Opening concert
This year there is already a highlight for me at the beginning of the season: a few days ago I played Dvorak’s cello concerto at the Rudolfinum in Prague. With absolute dream partners, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra under their conductor Jakub Hrusa. I played Martinu’s First Cello Concerto with Jakub many years ago – the first time for me at the time – and I was quite nervous and didn’t feel I could give my best. This time, years later, a bit calmer (and better prepared!), I could really appreciate and enjoy the moment. Thank you! Now for a contrasting programme: settling my kids into kindergarten in my new old home of Berlin.
About Julian Steckel
“As an interpreter, I’ve started trusting my inner life more and letting the audience in. It’s a kind of vulnerability that makes you stronger.”
Written music is potential energy that a performer must unleash. Audiences can tell if a musician really feels that energy, or if their expression is second-hand. When Julian plays, he is sharing something fragile and alive.
