About this event

Commissioned by Jascha Heifetz, Walton鈥檚 concerto extended the possibilities of what could be achieved on the violin, while at the same time maintaining a striking intimacy and emotional directness.

S酶nderg氓rd and the 主播大秀 NOW open with a suite from Sir Peter Maxwell Davies鈥檚 ballet Caroline Mathilde, in which the English princess is sent to an unhappy marriage in Denmark, and continue with two great orchestral works by Sibelius. A painting of a flight of swans hung on the wall of the composer鈥檚 study, and these birds inspired both the majestic 鈥榮wan theme鈥� apotheosis of Sibelius鈥檚 Fifth Symphony and the more serene and mystical tone-poem The Swan of Tuonela.
