Beautiful, seductive and dizzying, sums up the evening's concert. Welcome.
Jean Sibelius's Fourth Symphony in A minor is one of his most melancholic. The piece is permeated by a recurring tritone interval – the combination of notes that has been associated with the devil since the Middle Ages. The insanely beautiful music warps, chafes – and seduces.
Sergej Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto, which takes its point of departure in Russian Orthodox liturgical music, is also seductive. The concert was first performed in 1909 with the composer himself at the grand piano.
And then we meet Grażyna Bacewicz's dizzying Concerto for String Orchestra, which when it was first performed in 1950 was compared to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
