The Proms Sibelius symphony cycle continues with the concise, intricately wrought Third and the darker Fourth once described by conductor Herbert Blomstedt as an essay in trying to be happy which fails on purpose. These are paired with the composers popular Violin Concerto with Lithuanian soloist Julian Rachlin. Conductor Ilan Volkov is a passionate champion of contemporary music and here premieres a new Sibelius-inspired work by Michael Finnissy a composer whose music, though fascinatingly complex, finds real connection with politics, society and culture. |
