journey of a gifted conductor
ARTE – SUNDAY APRIL 21 AT 11:55 P.M. – DOCUMENTARY
We remember coming across by chance, on YouTube, during the Covid-19 pandemic, a stunning concert: a handsome young chef, in a double-breasted suit (a rarity on the catwalks and in today’s men’s wardrobe ), conducted as we have rarely heard the Symphony no 7 “Leningrad”, by Dmitri Shostakovich.
We literally remained on the edge of our seats wondering: who is this prodigious, still little-known musician? By searching a little, we quickly understood that with the young Finn Klaus Mäkelä, born in 1996, we were dealing with an exception: we have known gifted young chefs; young conductors endowed with such musical maturity and depth, more rarely.
This is also what struck the musical documentarian Bruno Monsaingeon, who made it, in his own words, his new “artistic favorite”. The film Klaus Mäkelä, verse la flamme (2023) looks back on the conductor’s childhood, his early taste for conducting, his lessons with Jorma Panula (the mentor of most practicing Finnish conductors), his love at first sight shared with European orchestras.
“It ticks all the boxes”
Mäkelä was appointed Music Director of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in 2018,

18. April 2024
Since 1844, the Baur au Lac has been one of the flagships in Zurich. As one of very few five-star hotels in the world, it is still in family hands. Marguita Kracht, Andrea Kracht’s seventh generation daughter, is now taking the helm – and is turning the restaurant concept on its head. Not everyone likes this break with norms, but it is not for nothing that the owner family can look back on 180 years of success.
Anyone who knows the city of Zurich also knows Baur au Lac (“Baur am See”). Located directly on the lakeshore, the hotel has been one of the top addresses in Zurich, Switzerland and Europe since it opened 180 years ago. The hotel has been run by the founding family since 1844 – making it one of the very few five-star hotels in the world that are still family-owned. Behind the house is the Kracht family, which no longer bears the name of the hotel founder Johannes Baur, but is a direct successor to him. “We have seven generations of history,” says owner Andrea Kracht in an interview with Forbes. This is also necessary,
Osde would apply a reduction in its fees, although the members were not informed
The uncertainty about the prepaid costs begin to dissipate with the OSDE announcement about the 22% reduction in fees. This follows a government resolution that ordered seven prepaid companies to revert their installment prices to December values and adjust them with accumulated inflation. This Tuesday, the prepaid company that accounts for the majority of the market’s affiliates, reported what the scheme of the new bills that will begin to reach people in the coming days will be.
According to Clarín, the company clarified that The 22% reduction will be reflected in the April dues, but there are differences between deregulated and direct affiliates.
It must be clarified that OSDE charges per month in arrears. However, there will be a difference between deregulated affiliates (through social work) and direct ones. lThe former will see a 19% increase in the March difference before experiencing the reduction in April. Meanwhile, direct affiliates and monotributistas will already notice the decrease in their next bills.
This measure comes after a resolution from the national government that urged prepaid companies to adjust their prices according to accumulated inflation. The seven prepaid companies affected, including OSDE, are in legal proceedings due to an alleged excessive increase in fees.
