Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 in D
The prestigious Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra 鈥� the world鈥檚 longest-established symphony orchestra, famous for the glossy richness of its 鈥楲eipzig sound鈥� 鈥� returns to the Proms under Music Director Andris Nelsons.
Joining them, back at the Proms for the first time since 2010, is German violinist Isabelle Faust, soloist in Dvor虒a虂k鈥檚 colourful, folk-inspired Violin Concerto.
The elemental power of Sibelius鈥檚 Symphony No. 2, with its heroic final movement, has become indelibly associated with Finland鈥檚 fight for freedom, no less personal a statement than the fragile, hypnotic beauty of Arvo Pa虉rt鈥檚 tribute to Benjamin Britten.
