When Mozart wrote his 鈥淧rague鈥� symphony, he was on a mission to entertain, and he poured every ounce of fantasy and skill into a symphony that still sounds brand new. Jan谩膷ek was even more upfront: his 'Taras Bulba' turns bloody medieval history into music as visceral, and as gripping, as a slasher flick. The voltage should be off the scale in this concert from Sakari Oramo and the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra.

In between comes a different kind of wonder 鈥� a Norse saga with a Czech accent, and something wholly new by one of Sweden鈥檚 most admired composers. 鈥淎 musical journey through many different and often unexpected landscapes of sound鈥� is how Britta Bystr枚m describes her new Horn Concerto, and with the playing of Ben Goldscheider to inspire her, the result should be magical.
