鈥淟emminka茂nen, reckless hero, in his veins the blood of ages鈥︹�� In the Finnish legends of the Kalevala, Lemminka茂nen was a warrior like no other: loving, hunting and vanquishing death itself. Sibelius knew all those ancient tales, and he retells them in music as vivid as any film score 鈥� the climax to a whole evening of fantastic tales from the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo.
Because the adventure doesn鈥檛 start there. First comes the dizzying imagination of Thomas Ad猫s鈥檚 violin concerto: a true modern classic, played by a giant among living violinists. And to open, Oramo shares the glowing colours and heartfelt melodies of Edwardian composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
