Sibelius: Symphony No.1
James Ehnes (violin)
±«Óătv Philharmonic
John StorgÄrds (conductor)
The ±«Óătv Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John StorgĂ„rds present Sibeliusâs Symphony No. 1 â a thrilling glimpse of a composer emerging from the shadow of Tchaikovsky and his fellow Romantics. Canadian violinist James Ehnes is the soloist in Waltonâs fiercely direct Violin Concerto â a work full of song, dance and drama. The concert opens with a world premiere from heartily irreverent Irish composer Gerald Barry, focusing on Franz Kafkaâs obsession with wearing earplugs to silence the noise around him. âIn the music,â Barry says, âyou are Kafka, hearing the worldâs sounds as he heard them. You are inside his head.â
