Uniform Title:
En Saga, op. 9
Content:
Sibelius and Mendelssohn provide the soundtrack for this unique concert with a distinctly Northern European flavor, live from London's LSO St Luke's. The evening begins with Jean Sibelius's En Saga, a symphonic poem that, like its composer, has become a defining figure of Finnish national musical identity. On the other side of the Baltic, it took Mendelssohn six years to complete his famed Violin Concerto--and it was well worth the wait, as violin virtuoso Alina Ibragimova's powerhouse rendition will demonstrate! The concert ends in style with two short works from Finland: Lumière et pesanteur by the fabulous Kaija Saariaho--ranked the world's greatest living composer by BBC Music Magazine--and another work by the endlessly inventive Sibelius, the spirited and episodic Cassazione.
