Masterful Sibelius from Sir Colin, Znaider, and the LSO at Avery Fisher

Amanda Keil, 25th October

Sibelius – whose unique voice straddles Romanticism, folk music, and the inklings of Modernism – can be a tricky composer to perform. His lush, expansive sonorities can sound simply loud and louder, plowing over the singable melodies and tiny gestures later transformed into full-blown themes. Not so in the hands of Sir Colin Davis.
