He was called the Finnish Verdi due to support for the country independence from Russia. I see him as the most Canadian of the Masters.
Former TSO Conductor, he left early, hated doing concerts in the money pit.

See Druid, it's not so difficult. You're listening to what the late Cliff Burton liked.
The Adagio is a fairly young piece. Leonard Bernstein wanted a stand alone of it for string orchestra. Barber wrote the original a year before WW II started.

Robert Schumann and Tchaikovsky were bi-polar, they both committed suicide. Tchaikovsky got rich writing music for the Bolshoi, but he had to live in the closet. His symphonies demonstrate his mood. He didn't live much longer after the 6th, it was considered a failure.
Lola Astanova is Uzbek, a predominately Muslim country. She was raised in the States and studied in Texas. She has a certain admirer.
Well she makes classical much more appealing for some of us that's for sure lol.
I've been looking for complete works from Lola, there are only snippets. She's more celebrity than hardcore performer. I prefer Alexandra Kuznetsova, her rock transcriptions are solid, I'm confident she can play Chopin. As a patron, I've been attempting to coax her into offering some.
Connectivity is the main thing Druid, she's a good promoter. Helene Grimaud isn't packaged as flat out sexy but she's gained a huge following. I don't buy into the slander that Millennials are too ADD for classical music.
From the film Amadeus.
She's cute, I like her approach. See Druid, you're more into classical than you let on. As I was saying about Millennials, education works better than disdain.
Never heard of her before, grazie molto.
