PROKOFIEV Violin Concerto No 1 in D, Op 19
SIBELIUS Symphony No 2 in in D, Op 43
The Karelia Suite is a wonder to behold, evoking heroic figures from Finland’s past and capturing the wild beauty of the country’s lakes and forests. Drawing upon a wealth of instrumental colours and summoning the full might of the orchestra, Sibelius offers one stirring tableau after another. The Symphony No 2 is even more epic. Arguably Sibelius’ most popular symphony, the Second marries lush symphonic gestures with folk-like melodies and bold instrumental textures. Sit back and relish the sumptuous sounds.
Violin superstar Ilya Gringolts returns to the TSO after a long absence, bringing with him the dazzling showpiece that is Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No 1. Be swept away by this extraordinary musician performing a work that, one hundred years on from its 1923 Paris première, has become a touchstone for all great performers.
