Just as he left the stage Thursday afternoon at Heinz Hall, Pablo Fernandez talked with Jim Cunningham about his Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1 with Juraj Valcuha and the Pittsburgh Symphony. They've worked together with great success in Paris, he loves working with the Pittsburgh, and remembers well his debut with John Williams in December of 2023. He's been playing the Saint-Saens since he was very young and of course he plays "The Swan" from the Carnival of the Animals as an encore often. He's enjoying this trip and his wife is along for the journey this time. A new recording is on the way and life is good. He had to head off to rehearse for the Saturday Pittsburgh 360 concert where he plays two chamber music masterpieces with members of the orchestra and the audience on stage.
