Intérprete: Sakari Oramo

Oramo condujo de forma vibrante, extrayendo de cada atril precisión y concentración, que se tradujeron en interlocución sublime con la voz desgranada por Luganski. Merece ser resaltado el asombroso dominio del cambio de compás, incesante y libre de devaneos o incertidumbres en los engarces.

Yeol Eum Son’s Britten Piano Concerto formed the evening’s centre of gravity, played with lucid line, structural command and sudden fire. In Brahms’ Second Symphony, Sakari Oramo found conviction, proportion and a warmth that felt earned rather than applied.

Yeol Eum Son's superb performances of Bartók and Finzi are matched by intense and heady readings of Stravinsky and Weir by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sakari Oramo.
