Date of change: 5 May 22 - T01755491072

Prom 34 - Thorvaldsdottir, Elgar and Sibelius

Work:: Prom 34 (S359)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Thorvaldsdottir, Elgar and Sibelius (T01755491072)

Primal urges - to live, love and be free - animate this concert from Eva Ollikainen and the BBC Philharmonic. Elgar's Cello Concerto combines a deep sense of mourning - possibly at the catastrophe of the First World War - with the most heartfelt, eloquent lyricism, while echoes of both Don Juan and Dante's Divine Comedyare woven through Sibelius' Second Symphony, a work torn between pastoral calm and restless disquiet, and later adopted as a symbol of Finnish national resistance and liberation. Award-winning Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir's music has a tectonic quality, cracking and flickering with elemental force. Primordial energy itself is the inspiration for her ARCHORA, which receives its world premiere

Performer	Kian Soltani (cello)
