A stunning programme featuring two symphonic masterworks, the Seventh (and last) Symphony by Sibelius, which unfolds in a single movement, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.4. Conductor Thomas Dausgaard is celebrated for his sensitivity to the nuances of each score, and he is sure to offer particularly insightful interpretations in this programme, having been praised by the New York Times for finding 'broody suppressed passion in Sibelius'. Schumann’s romantic A minor Piano Concerto is performed by Khatia Buniatishvili, praised by Martha Argerich as 'a young pianist of extraordinary talent'. The programme culminates in Tchaikovsky’s epic Symphony No.4, with its powerful and tumultuous journey from darkness to light.
