Artiste: Orchestre philharmonique d'Helsinki

Première visite à Bruxelles de l'Orchestre philharmonique d'Helsinki depuis 1900 : sous la direction formidable de Susanna Mälkki, la phalange finlandaise a livré une performance mémorable.

The traditional end of year performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony took on extra significance in this, his 250th anniversary year. 

The music of Sibelius and Mahler may seem worlds apart, but this concert by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, celebrating Finland's centenary, proved that opposites can attract.
