Production Changes

Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 3 Jun 15 - T01503052381

Prom 47 - Sibelius, Jon Leifs, Anders Hillborg & Beethoven

Work:: Prom 47 (S5978)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Sibelius, Jon Leifs, Anders Hillborg & Beethoven (T01503052381)

There's no denying the potent rhythmic urgency of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Its giddying, propulsive movement finds contrast in the mysterious stillness of Sibelius's Tapiola, inspired by the spirit of Finland's dusky forests, its wood-sprites and magic secrets. Jon Leifs's Organ Concerto harnesses the full power and scope of the Royal Albert Hall's organ in its massive musical gestures, while Anders Hillborg's Beast Sampler promises to strip away all we know of the symphony orchestra, transforming it into a 'sound animal'. Finish time approx. 21:05

Performer	Stephen Farr (organ)
Company	BBC Symphony Orchestra
Conductor	Sakari Oramo
