North to South
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Chief Guest Conductor John Storgards take us on a holiday journey from Finland to Italy with music by Sibelius, Shostakovich and Mendelssohn.
From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney
We depart on our musical journey from Helsinki with music Sibelius wrote for Maurice Maeterlinck's play Pelleas and Melisande. Journeying east, we arrive in Leningrad for Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto; written for his friend Rostropovich the opening is immediately arresting and memorable. Our tour ends under the azure sky of the Mediterranean, joining Mendelssohn on the Italian leg of his own Grand Tour that's full of southern light, closing our holiday with a frenzied dance.
