Santtu conducts Sibelius and Nielsen
Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali - Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall
Program Info: Philharmonia Orchestra Santtu-Matias Rouvali – conductor Bomsori Kim – violin
Masterpieces by Sibelius and Nielsen frame a new work by composer Miho Hazama, written to accompany underwater film footage of the Nordic coast.
Principal Conductor Santtu opens the second concert in the Philharmonia’s Nordic Soundscapes series with one of Sibelius’s most popular works. Playful, rippling flutes depict the Oceanides, sea-nymphs of Greek mythology.
Korean violinist Bomsori Kim, a superstar in her homeland, treats us to Nielsen’s Violin Concerto, as bold and good-humoured as Nielsen himself.
At the heart of this programme is the first of three new pieces in Nordic Soundscapes accompanying short documentary films by Joakim Odelberg. Explore the underwater worlds around the Nordic coastline, and see fascinating aquatic wildlife up close on the Royal Festival Hall’s huge screen.
Sibelius has the last word in this captivating programme – his Symphony No. 3 sweeps listeners up in its confident, warm energy right from the start, and packs many pleasures into its half-hour span.
