Featuring
Programme
- Esa-Pekka Salonen Dona Nobis Pacem, 5′
- Rautavaara Cantus Arcticus – Concerto for Birds and Orchestra, 19′
- Sibelius Rakastava (The Lover), 6′
- Sibelius En Saga, 17′
- Grieg Peer Gynt: Incidental Music, 50′
Peer Gynt is a prankster, an adventurer and a rogue, and everyone knows some of the wonderfully memorable music that Grieg wrote to accompany his story. But Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla never does anything by halves, and tonight she retells the whole tale. Because anything is possible under the Midnight Sun – songs, sagas, and a magical concerto in which the birds of Arctic Finland become the soloists.
