Conclusion of the Sibelius cycle with Simon Rattle
Complete symphonic performances are always a special event for the Berliner Philharmoniker. That includes this Sibelius cycle from 2015, which culminated in Simon Rattle conducting three symphonies in a row. Sibelius’s Symphonies Nos. 5, 6 and 7 fuse the qualities of the preceding works: the effusive Nordic tone of the first two symphonies, and the experimental form language and harmonies of Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4.
