HIGHLIGHT
Sibelius was a great composer, proud of his heritage and a Finnish icon to the world. His Violin Concerto in D major presents remarkable contrast between soloist and orchestra, in which the soloist plays almost consistently throughout the work, displaying virtuosity and sophistication. His Symphony No.2 in D major contains a strong Finnish identity and tonal colors of northern Europe, filled with nuanced treatment of folk materials cast in many shades between light and darkness.
