BBC Proms: Sibelius’s Second
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]The prestigious Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra – the world’s longest-established symphony orchestra, famous for the glossy richness of its ‘Leipzig sound’ – returns to the Proms under Music Director Andris Nelsons.
Joining them, back at the Proms for the first time since 2010, is American violinist Hilary Hahn, soloist in Dvořák’s colourful, folk-inspired Violin Concerto.
The elemental power of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, with its heroic final movement, has become indelibly associated with Finland’s fight for freedom, no less personal a statement than the fragile, hypnotic beauty of Arvo Pärt’s tribute to Benjamin Britten.
Programme
Arvo Pärt Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten 6’
Dvořák Violin Concerto in A minor 32’
Interval
Sibelius Symphony No. 2 in D major 46’
