Obra: Pohjola's Daughter, Op.49

The Finnish conductor values attention to detail across three disparate 20th-century pieces, highlighting the uniform strength of the Chicago musicians.

A gripping Sibelius tone poem, an intense performance of a modern violin concerto and an enjoyable modern symphony all played as if it was the BBC Phil's everyday fare. 

Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts the Dallas Symphony in a Sibelius tone poem and a Shostakovich symphony, both works of great tragedy.
