Sibelius Symphony No.7
Joana Carneiro conducts works by Bach, Lindberg, Beethoven and Sibelius in Glasgow.
Sibelius’s one-movement Seventh Symphony is the climax of a concert that pairs the composer with fellow Finns: violin maverick Pekka Kuusisto and composer Magnus Lindberg. Expect sparks to fly in Lindberg’s First Violin Concerto, while his 'Chorale' is preceded by part of the work that inspired it, Bach’s 'Es ist genug'. Plus, conductor Joana Carneiro finds room for Beethoven’s stirring Leonore No.3 Overture, a passionate hymn to liberty that never seems to lose its relevance.
