BBC National Orchestra of Wales - Sibelian Landscapes at St David's Hall
Conductor: Jac van Steen
Violin: Akiko Suwanai
Mezzo Soprano: Jane Irwin
Sibelius Tapiola
Sibelius Violin Concerto
Elgar The Music Makers
Tapiola, god of the Finnish pine forests, inspired Sibelius's most elemental work, full of the quiet terror of the forest and culminating in one of the most furious storms in all music - it will have you grabbing the arms of your seat. Like Tapiola, Sibelius's Violin Concerto will draw you into a powerful dark natural world of intense slow-burning passion. Elgar's The Music Makers is one of his most private and personal works, with nostalgic quotations from his other music woven into the fabric.
Akiko Suwanai brings a unique musical and personal allure to the violin that has led to celebrated performances throughout the world under conductors of the quality of Boulez and Gergiev.
