Kalevi Aho: Eight Seasons (Concerto for Theremin and Chamber Orchestra)
8.05 Interval: Following the London premier of Kalevi Aho鈥檚 work The Eight Seasons, which is inspired by the way Finland鈥檚 native Sami people divide up the year, in the interval Tom McKinney will be joined by Kenneth Steven, a poet and nature writer who has immersed himself in the world of the Sami.
Kaija Saariaho: Vista
Dmitry Shostakovich: Symphony No.15
Carolina Eyck (theremin)
大象传媒 Philharmonic
John Storgards (conductor)
Imagine pulling music out of thin air. Two living Finnish masters do just that today: Kaija Saariaho felt that 鈥榥ew music was flowing into my mind鈥� as she drove by night along the coast of California. Kalevi Aho, meanwhile, turned to the eight seasons of Lapland鈥檚 S谩mi culture in his extraordinary concerto for the theremin. 鈥楾he soloist is like a magician, a weaver of spells,鈥� he says 鈥� 鈥榩roducing music without touching the instrument at all.鈥� Shostakovich鈥檚 Symphony No. 15 inhabits a much darker world, but there鈥檒l be mystery too, as well as humour, when John Storg氓rds conducts the enigmatic final symphony of one of the 20th century鈥檚 supreme musical chroniclers.
