Cäcilie Sproß, 1st violin

Cäcilie Sproß joined the Bayerisches Staatsorchester in 1984. She describes that in the following years she had the great fortune to experience Carlos Kleiber. With his aesthetic and wonderfully expressive movements, he transmitted his extraordinary musicality and energy to the musicians, who were highly motivated and surpassed themselves. The concerts with him on the 1986 tour of Japan are among the most impressive moments in their 39 years with the Bayerisches Staatsorchester.
