The music
The performers
Tonight is all about big, beautiful melodies.
Second time’s the charm: Sibelius’s Second Symphony begins in rural quiet but ends as a mighty flood of melody – crowned with trumpets, and sweeping triumphantly onwards to freedom. Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto isn’t as well-known as his First, but when you hear it played by the sensational young French star Alexandre Kantorow you’ll wonder why: it’s positively bursting with sunshine and big, beautiful Tchaikovsky melodies. An evening of music-making on a truly magnificent scale, all brought together by the inspirational conducting of Paavo Järvi – one of the most sought-after conductors in the world today.
