鈥淟emminka茂nen, reckless hero, in his veins the blood of ages鈥︹€� In the Finnish legends of the Kalevala, Lemminka茂nen was a warrior like no other: loving, hunting and vanquishing death itself. Sibelius knew all those ancient tales, and he retells them in music as vivid as any film score 鈥� the climax to a whole evening of fantastic tales from Sakari Oramo and the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra.

Because the adventure doesn鈥檛 start there. First comes the dizzying imagination of Thomas Ad猫s鈥檚 violin concerto: a true modern classic, played by a giant among living violinists. And to open, Oramo shares the glowing colours and heartfelt melodies of Edwardian composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
