Summary
Kristiina Poska conducts the Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall, featuring cellist Alban Gerhardt in Joan Tower’s UK premiere alongside works by Rautavaara and Beethoven.
Why it's fantastic
The four-note opening of this symphony is the most recognisable motif in music history, representing a defiant struggle toward light. Before that drama unfolds, you will hear a haunting concerto that blends live orchestral melodies with the recorded songs of wild birds from the remote Arctic circle.
