The Scotsman over Kristóf Baráti

Glorious… crackling fireworks and rich poetic expressiveness.

At what age did you know the harp was your instrument? 
I saw one on television and right away I knew: this is what I want. I was absolutely sure about that. I had had piano lessons for quite some time, but at that moment it became clear to me. I was about eleven years old. Yeah, what’s the beauty of it? The sound, the colour. Especially in the orchestra: the moment the harp joins in, you get a change of timbre. It’s unlike any other instrument, winds, strings, whatever.
You became a professional musician, that’s quite a demanding life. Is there anything you do to keep in balance? 
I don’t experience my life as irregular, even though it is very much so. It’s not like nine to five at the office. But it’s a way of life and I like that irregularity. So, there’s nothing special I do to keep myself going. From week to week, I know what my schedule looks like: this will be a busy day and that one will be less busy. In that way it’s simply integrated into my life.
If you spend so much time making music, can you still be touched by it? 
Yes, I have been in the Rotterdam Philharmonic for 37 years. So, there is music I have played many times. But when we start performing it again with another conductor, it can profoundly touch me all over again. But that can also happen when we get to play something completely new: a feeling like wow, I didn’t know this piece, what an experience.
How would you describe the Rotterdam Philharmonic to someone who doesn’t know the orchestra? 
There’s a saying that has been going around for some time: when you buy a shirt in Rotterdam, the sleeves are already rolled up. I like that one. Rotterdam is a lively city of hard-working people who never lean back. A tremendous energy, that you will also find with the Rotterdam Philharmonic. You sense it especially during concerts: the orchestra can really break loose. And that’s very infectious. You just cannot withdraw from it: you have to go with the flow.
Do you feel the connection when you are performing? 
Yes, very much so. This energy. Doing concerts is what I like best. Recordings are a different cup of tea. I get the most energy when we play for the public. You really sense their presence, and you feel the orchestra can rise above itself. That is truly sensational. You cannot see it, you cannot describe it, but it is undeniably happening.
