Featuring
Programme
- Nielsen Helios Overture, 12′
- Grieg Piano Concerto, 30′
- Sibelius Symphony No.1, 38′
Scandinavian style: it's all about clean lines, natural beauty, and that special cosy glow they call "hygge". Carl Nielsen brings sunlight, and Sibelius celebrates nature, in a symphony as wild as a Finnish forest and as magical as the Northern Lights. Grieg provides the tenderness, as Michael Seal and pianist Clare Hammond perform his lovely Piano Concerto: all the right notes, in much more than just the right order!
