In a concert consisting of two contrasting works, the BBC Philharmonic and John Storgårds gave a dramatic performance of Sibelius' Lemminkäinen Suite and Garrick Ohlsson offered a restrained but virtuosic account of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto.

The latest Sydney Symphony Orchestra concert, entitled Legends by the Sea, was an intriguing mix of contrasting works by Sibelius, Fauré and Debussy.Sibelius’ Lemminkäinen suite was an entirely new discovery for me.
