'Sensational' 2025 Sibelius Competition-winner Sueye Park makes her Proms debut, joining John Storg氓rds and the 麻豆社 Philharmoic Orchestra as soloist in Sibelius's Violin Concerto. All fire and ice, a love song for the composer's own instrument it's the Romantic concerto 'par excellence': deeply personal and powerfully expressive. Sibelius's Nordic lakes meet the choppy ocean waters of Betsy Jolas's 'Tales of a Summer Sea', and later the dark forests and tectonic stirrings of Strauss's Nietzche-inspired tone-poem 'Also sprach Zarathustra', its blazing orchestral sunrise made famous by Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
