Finland 100 – Sibelius and Sallinen

Season: 2017/2018

The sometimes humorous and sometimes frightening piece Nocturnal Dances of Don Juanquixote, by Aulis Sallinen, mixes fiery tango with virtuoso cello solos in a wild, unpredictable journey. The soloist is the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s very own Jan-Erik Gustavsson! Young composer Sauli Zinovjev’s Batteria premiered in Helsinki in January, and is now performed in Sweden for the first time. The music is inspired by the horrific terror attacks the world is experiencing. The concert ends with Sibelius’ Symphony No. 7, one of his last pieces as well as one of his best; a unique and beautiful symphony.
