Summary
Pietari Inkinen conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Sibelius’s final two symphonies at Hoddinott Hall, featuring pianist Anna Geniushine in Grieg’s concerto and Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture.
Why it's fantastic
You will likely recognise the thundering opening chords of the Grieg, a piano masterpiece that remains a cornerstone of romantic music. Following that familiar thrill, the final two Sibelius symphonies offer a shift into cleaner, more atmospheric territory, ending the evening with music that feels as vast and open as a Nordic landscape.
