Jaap van Zweden's triumphant return
For 16 years, Jaap van Zweden was concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. It's one of the best jobs a violinist could ever hope for...and van Zweden quit, so he could chase his dream of becoming a conductor. This past season, van Zweden was back in Amsterdam...conducting his old band-mates, as the current concertmaster soloed in the Violin Concerto by Samuel Barber.
