Paavo Järvi conducts music by Haydn and Nielsen.
Both Haydn and Nielsen rejoiced in the unconventional, lulling audiences into a sense of false security before suddenly taking them out of their comfort zones.
In his 100th Symphony, Haydn startles his listeners with a 'military' outburst during the slow movement, whereas Nielsen lets rip with a side-drum frenzy that threatens to obliterate the entire orchestra.
