Music from Finland by Sibelius and Rautavaara
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic and John Storgards in music by Rautavaara and Sibelius. They are joined by violinist Tobias Feldmann for Sofia Gubaidulina's concerto, "In Tempus Praesens".
From Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney
In a programme which explores time, space and legend, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic's Finnish Chief Conductor, John Storgards, opens with a visceral portrayal of heroic deeds in Sibelius's tone poem "Pohjola's Daughter"; music of dark gloom, warm light and an unobtainable heroine seated on a rainbow, weaving golden cloth. Unapproachable too are the angels in Rautavaara's Seventh Symphony, one of a series of pieces taking poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke as inspiration; "Every angel is terrifying ... its .. stronger presence would kill you if it held you tight." This is expansive, free-flowing and expressive music which invites us into a world all of its own, and the first piece to bring Rautavaara fame.
Violinist Tobias Feldmann joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for Sofia Gubaidulina's Concerto "In tempus praesens" - for the present time. The Concerto explores her philosophical and religious beliefs; "Only in sleep, in the religious experience and in art, are we able to experience lasting present time" she says.
