Standing ovations have often been somewhat routine. A ritual where you can sometimes wonder if it isn't just that. It belongs and everyone gets up out of politeness, sort of. Not so at the Gävlesymfonikerna's season premiere on Friday evening. Simon Trpčeski completely captivated the audience in a rare powerful and intense performance of Brahms' Second Piano Concerto. The stormy cheers afterwards never wanted to end. And on the charming banter from Trpčeski's side and a few encores that kept the mood high.
