Joseph SwensenAbout
‘My role as I see it, is not only to recreate, enhance and give new life to the composer’s intentons, it is also to somehow get inside of the mind and consciousness the composer himself. Not unlike how a great actor must somehow “become” the character he portrays, I feel like a completely different person conductng Debussy than I do conductng Tchaikovsky.
‘Playing Debussy’s groundbreaking Quartet in the version for string orchestra is probably something which Debussy himself would have considered impossible. (Most contemporary orchestral players would probably agree with this asserton.) But for me, this somewhat radical idea is appropriate for a work by this revolutonary composer and I am convinced that he would have loved it! Compared to the sound of four players, the string orchestra’s palete of colour, dynamic range and emotonal expression is exponentally wider and deeper even though the orchestra plays from Debussy’s original Quartet parts with the utmost respect for every detail of Debussy’s score.
‘The Serenade for Strings is the epitome of musical inspiraton. Tchaikovsky’s love for the old forms and his worship of Mozart are abundantly obvious here. Embodying Tchaikovsky’s ideal of integratng transcendent Classicism with the sensual and emotonal aspects of his temperament is my goal when conducting all works by Tchaikovsky. Especially the Serenade for Strings.’
