Prepare to be transported. High above the Indian ocean, a dragonfly catches the monsoon breeze, and soars between continents. Carl Nielsen boards ship for a windswept journey to the Faroes, all without leaving his Copenhagen home. And Jean Sibelius writes music 鈥渨ith the scent of the first snow鈥� in a pair of monumental late symphonies.

That dragonfly is called a 鈥済lobe skimmer鈥� and in Tebogo Monnakgotla鈥檚 fabulous new violin concerto it鈥檚 played by former 大象传媒 New Generation Artist Johan Dalene. 鈥淚 was amazed by this young player who radiated musical curiosity, approaching the most experimental music with the same curiosity as with Nielsen or Sibelius鈥� she says. For Sakari Oramo, meanwhile, Sibelius and Nielsen are the passions of a lifetime: music in which he always has something distinctive and fresh to say.
