Imagine this. Majestic swans take flight and Finland’s greatest composer unleashes a spine-tingling melody that fills your heart with hope.
Beethoven Symphony No.1 (c.28 mins)
Hans Abrahamsen Concerto for Horn and Orchestra (c.21 mins)
Beethoven Namensfeier Overture, Op. 115 (c.7 mins)
Sibelius Symphony No.5 (c.33 mins)
Stefan Dohr horn
Ryan Wigglesworth conductor
“God, what beauty!”. Once upon a time in Finland, Sibelius saw a flight of swans and felt his imagination take wing. That’s the story behind the unforgettable horn theme that crowns his Fifth Symphony: music as astonishing, and as inevitable, as nature itself. Those vaulting horns are a spine-tingling way to end the season. So what could be more natural than Ryan Wigglesworth inviting Stefan Dohr, a legend among living horn players, to perform another Scandinavian masterpiece: the playful, utterly original concerto that our Composer in Association (and master-storyteller) Hans Abrahamsen wrote especially for him. Ludwig van Beethoven ties it all together, with wit, splendour and irrepressible life-force. You’d expect no less.
