Overture, Ruslan and Ludmila

Violin Concerto

Sibelius

Symphony No. 5

Glinka's fizzing, exuberant overture to his opera captures the essence of Pushkin's magical poem, rooted deeply in Russian folklore. Tchaikovsky's concerto begins in heroic vein, and continues with a tender slow movement. The spectacular finale takes the form of a whirling Russian dance. Sibelius' fifth and most well-known symphony grows from the seed of its tiny opening figure to the most outwardly heroic of his seven works in the form. The final majestic brass theme was inspired by a flight of sixteen migrating swans the awe-struck composer saw wheeling over his house in the countryside.
