The Guardian wrote that Osmo Vänskä “conducts Sibelius better than anyone else alive.” He returns to Carnegie Hall with theMinnesota Orchestra for works by the great Finnish master. Two remarkable but dissimilar approaches to the symphony are featured. The First Symphony’s richness of melody, atmospheric orchestration, and dramatic tone provides fascinating contrast to the leaner, tightly constructed, and more emotionally restrained Symphony No. 3. There are no technical restraints in the Violin Concerto, however; it features a solo part that challenges the violinist from the work’s opening notes.
