成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra

The 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Finnish folk musicians, soloists and chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard play Sibelius and the folk music that inspired him.

To end their season, the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra enter into Sibelius's world by inviting a quartet of Finnish folk musicians to Glasgow. Playing with the 成人快手 SSO in a specially arranged piece of music, the Finnish folk musicians explore the themes that Sibelius would have heard, and has incorporated into, his Choral Symphony, Kullervo. Kullervo is one of his finest masterpieces in which Sibelius uses one of Finland's most ancient of poems, the Kalevala. It is a story of the tragedy of a young hero and a love more terrible than war. One of Scandinavia's finest choirs and two outstanding singers join the 成人快手 SSO in the City Halls in Glasgow for this live broadcast conducted by their Chief Conductor Thomas Dausgaard.

Presented by Jamie MacDougall.
