The Neubrandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra plays works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Jean Sibelius.
Soloist: Chi Ho Han, piano
Conductor: Christoph Altstaedt
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major op. 19
Jean Sibelius: Lemminkäinen Suite op. 22
"Lemminkäinen" - what an auspicious sounding title! Tuonela! Kalevala! Tapiola! Ainola! - Finland is rich in fascinating names, stories and wonderful landscapes. Ever since I heard Sibelius for the first time, I have been unable to escape the peculiar fascination that emanates from his music. It tells of Finnish legends and the nature of the north with a profundity and mysterious beauty. Where the sun never sets in summer and the vastness seems endless. Join us on our musical journey to the mystical primeval times of Finland, to swans and lakes and immerse yourself in Sibelius' magical musical world."- Christoph Altstaedt
