With its fiery passions surging from icy evocations, Sibelius’ sole concerto is one of the most cherished works in the violin repertoire. SCO Conductor Emeritus Joseph Swensen has long been a committed and much-lauded Sibelian: he accompanies young, New Zealand-born Geneva Lewis – until recently a member of the prestigious BBC New Generation Artists project – in this intensely emotional masterpiece.
Swensen closes his concert with the heat and cold of a Finnish sauna in Sibelius’ coolly elegant Sixth Symphony. Beforehand, perky rhythms and Baroque inspirations meld in the captivating Concerto for String Orchestra by Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz.
