Osmo Vänskä: Sibelius Symphony Cycle
Every journey has to begin somewhere, and for the young Sibelius that place was the national pride and burgeoning creativity of Finland at the end of the 19th century. Osmo Vänskä launches the LPO's Sibelius Cycle with the cheerful patriotism of the Karelia Suite and the romantic verve of the First Symphony – music of primal forces and heady romance. In between comes Britten's anguished Violin Concerto, written on the brink of the Second World War and performed tonight by the young Dutch virtuoso Simone Lamsma. Expect dark visions and big tunes: a stirring start to a truly epic tale.
