Programme
- Coleridge-Taylor Solemn Prelude, 10′
- Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor , 27′
- Sibelius Symphony No.2, 43′
Sibelius’ Second Symphony begins quietly - even playfully. But by the time it’s run its course, trumpets are raising the roof and the air is ringing with a melody that sweeps everything before it. It’s a thrilling climax to a concert that opens with the soul-stirring music of a forgotten English romantic, and stars the extraordinary Clara-Jumi Kang in a violin concerto that always sounds fresh.
