Sibelius from the Hall茅 in Manchester

Violinist Stephen Waarts joins the Hall茅 orchestra conducted by Artist-in-Residence, Thomas Ad猫s to perform a programme of Sibelius, Rautavaara and Ad猫s from the Bridgewater Hall.

Violinist Stephen Waarts joins the Hall茅 orchestra conducted by Artist-in-Residence, Thomas Ad猫s.

Finnish composer Rautavaara鈥檚 Deux S茅r茅nades is a delicately poignant work in two movements: the first, 鈥楩or my love鈥�, is rich with emotive, yearning melodies; the second, 鈥楩or life鈥�, is more contemplative, until a suddenly frantic finish. Thomas Ad猫s鈥� Aquifer is brimming with fluid motifs and rhythms that expand and withdraw as the water would in its namesake geological structure. Stephen Waarts will perform Ad猫s鈥� Air 鈥� Homage to Sibelius, a transformative work first premiered earlier this year.

Book-ending tonight鈥檚 concert are two Sibelius symphonies, his Fifth and Seventh. The latter, like Air, was composed in one single movement, yet it is no less full of rhythmic variety.

Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester on 21st November 2024.

Presented by Mark Forrest.
