Sibelius Symphony No 1

Afternoon Concert Sibelius's Symphonies
Episode 1 of 7

Penny Gore presents Sibelius's Symphony No 1 in E minor, Op 39. Plus Pierne: Fantaisie-ballet. Irgens-Jensen: Passacaglia. Shostakovich: Symphony No 10 in E minor, Op 93.

Today is the launch of a two-week survey of Sibelius's Symphonies performed by the 成人快手 Philharmonic with conductor John Storgards, as part of Afternoon on 3's Nordic and Baltic season.

This week numbers 1 to 3 - Sibelius makes his name, and his career takes off in the early years of the twentieth century - these first three symphonies are bold and confident works.

Also running through the week are a series of works by French composer Gabriel Piern茅. He succeeded C茅sar Franck as organist of St.Clotilde in Paris, and conducted the premiere of Stravinsky's ballet "The Firebird" in Paris in 1910. His music is filled with the ambience of fin-de-si猫cle Paris. Pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet joins the 成人快手 Philharmonic and Juanjo Mena in these recordings.
