Landscapes and Love Songs

For some listeners, it’s an elemental force: a mighty river of sound. For others, it’s the song of a nation awakening to freedom. But however you hear it, few sonic experiences are more invigorating than Sibelius’s Second Symphony, a musical journey that begins amidst the sounds of nature and ends in a surge of triumph. Grieg’s warm-hearted miniatures make the perfect opener, setting the mood for mystery, adventure – and romance. Grieg Lyric Suite Sibelius Symphony No. 2 This concert was filmed on 10 November 2021 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. Program: Grieg - Lyric Suite Sibelius - Symphony No.2
