Product Information
Osmo Vänskä, critically acclaimed music director of the Minnesota Orchestra since 2003, is the subject of this new book by Minneapolis-based Kirk House Publishers. Stunning photographs and intimate text follow Vänskä on a journey from young musician in Finland to current director of the Minnesota Orchestra.
Vänskä is known for his dynamic and moving performances, along with his serious work ethic and close rapport with the musicians that he leads. This magical combination has led Vänskä to great heights with the Minnesota Orchestra, winning acclaim nationally and internationally as Conductor of the Year by Musical America, and a Grammy nomination for his rendition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
The beautifully intimate photographs in this large hardcover bring Vänskä’s dynamic character to life, captured by Greg Helgeson and Ann Marsden, both who have photographed the orchestra and Vänskä himself for years. Author Michael Anthony served as music critic for the Minneapolis Star Tribune from 1971 to 2007, and has written for numerous publications across the United States and Canada.
