Sakari Oramo and Vilde Frang

According to Jean Sibelius himself, his Symphony No. 5, a bold composition of majestic radiance, explicitly expresses “nature’s mysticism and world-weariness”. Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo presents his fellow countryman’s work, pairing it with Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto, in which soloist Vilde Frang once again demonstrates her subtle art of nuance. The programme opens with a world premiere: in Phantoms, Composer in Residence Brett Dean takes the audience on a journey through the sounds of the instrumental sections.
