Performance Notes	The BBC Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John Storgårds present Sibeliuss Symphony No. 1 a thrilling glimpse of a composer emerging from the shadow of Tchaikovsky and his fellow Romantics. Canadian violinist James Ehnes is the soloist in Waltons fiercely direct Violin Concerto a work full of song, dance and drama. The concert opens with a world premiere from heartily irreverent Irish composer Gerald Barry, focusing on Franz Kafkas obsession with wearing earplugs to silence the noise around him. In the music Barry says, you are Kafka, hearing the worlds sounds as he heard them. You are inside his head. The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
