Composers
Sibelius 5
Sibelius’ patriotic side comes to the fore with his most anthemic tone poem and then his fifth symphony, a paean to nature and the countryside of his homeland. The first half balances Finnish fervour with music on a Danish theme, starting with a suite of light, incidental pieces for a play about King Christian II. Carl Nielsen, Denmark’s most celebrated composer, keeps the playful mood going with his concise and provocative flute concerto, played by ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ NOW’s Principal Flute Matthew Featherstone.
