Info
“Nature, mysticism and world-weariness!” said Jean Sibelius of his bold Fifth Symphony. The Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo conducts his compatriot’s symphony alongside Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto, a darkly brooding yet defiant work which foreshadows the horrors of the Second World War. The soloist is the Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang. The concert opens with a world premiere: in Phantoms, Composer in Residence Brett Dean embarks on a wild journey through the orchestra’s sections.

Background
A Finn in Berlin
Jean Sibelius and the Berliner Philharmoniker
Jean Sibelius is considered Finland’s great composer, who gave the country its own musical idiom with his tone poems inspired by the national epic Kalevala. Hardly anyone associates the Finn with Berlin – but the German metropolis played an important role in his artistic career.
