Info
What Jean Sibelius is to Finland, Edward Elgar is to England: both composers gave their country its own national musical language. With his Lemminkäinen Suite, Sibelius transports us to the world of Finnish legends. He tells of the adventures of a young, high-spirited hero in music that is as impassioned as it is sincere. Edward Elgar’s violin concerto reflects the values of Victorian England – profound, romantic, noble. The violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, widely acclaimed for his selfless musicality, performs the concerto under the direction of Kirill Petrenko.

A Finn in Berlin
Jean Sibelius and the Berliner Philharmoniker
Jean Sibelius is considered Finland’s great composer, who gave the country its own musical idiom with his tone poems inspired by the national epic Kalevala. Hardly anyone associates the Finn with Berlin – but the German metropolis played an important role in his artistic career.
