Klaus Makela, the Finnish wunderkind conducts thrilling Sibelius – headline at thetimes.co.uk


His career advances like the wind, ---

Klaus Mäkelä, the wunderkind.

He took the concert world by storm,

At a younger age than is the norm; 

And oh, the things one reads in print

Of Mäkelä, the Wunderkind.

A Riga Of His Own


There wasn’t a lot to intrigue a

Musical tourist to Riga,

But Müthel, who had to survive there,

Was able, they tell us, to thrive there;

At least that’s the skinny from Burney

When reporting his musical journey.
