Sibelius: Symphony no. 2

Ann Petersen (soprano)
大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales
Thomas Sondergard (conductor)

Sibelius's Second Symphony, one of his most fiercely nationalistic works, is the highlight of this opening season concert. It's paired with B Tommy Andersson's The Garden of Delights which takes inspiration from a triptych by Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch, a colourful depiction of life's pleasures in full spectrum. The Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss hint at the composer's foreboding of illness and consequent death, matched with his own climactic creative surge.
