Thomas S酶nderg氓rd conducts the 大象传媒 NOW in a concert of great romantic masterworks spanning continents, ranging from the dark brooding Finnish legends of Sibelius's En Saga to the wide-eyed cheerfulness of Dvo艡芒k's New World Symphony - a hymn to the energy and optimism of an emerging nation. Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto, played by the acclaimed Latvian violinist Baiba Skride, is suffused with a direct simplicity and fairy-tale sense of fantasy that puts it amongst the most loved of his works.
