Ligeti, Schumann, Sibelius

The star violinist Christian Tetzlaff returns to Berwaldhallen with Robert Schumann’s violin concerto, a controversial work that has become one of the composer’s most popular. Another work that faced resistance at the time is Sibelius’s fourth symphony, although it has since been taken up by musicians and music lovers across the world, including the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and its music director, Daniel Harding. And finally, György Ligeti’s Atmosphères, an evocative work that both penetrates the very soul of the listener and reaches far into the cosmos.
