London Philharmonic Orchestra (on Tour)
Tarrodi, Grieg, Sibelius
Vistas from the Far North
A fresh Scandinavian breeze blows through this concert! Benjamin Grosvenor, renowned for his poetic expressiveness and astonishing technique, explores the vast horizons of Grieg’s piano concerto. From there, it is but a small step to the rugged energy and misty panoramas of Sibelius’s debut work. Soaring above all this natural splendour, Andrea Tarrodi illuminates a sparkling world of sound. The Swedish composer sets the musicians of the London Philharmonic fluttering and chirping, light and agile as exotic birds of paradise.
