Sibelius

Symphony No. 2

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the music of his homeland in this all-Finnish programme. Sibelius was initially obsessed with the idea of becoming a world-class violinist and even got as far as an audition with the Vienna Philharmonic. Had he succeeded, some of greatest orchestral music of the 20th century may never have been written. The most immediate outcome was the glorious Violin Concerto, composed for the virtuoso which Sibelius never became.
