Summary

Emilia Hoving conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Warwick Arts Centre in works by Sibelius, Kodály and Bartók, alongside Vaughan Williams’s Oboe Concerto featuring soloist John Roberts.

Why it's fantastic

Sibelius based this music on a rugged, folk-inflected landscape, resulting in an opening march that remains one of the most recognizable melodies in the repertoire. It is a smart entry point for anyone curious about the orchestral sound, paired here with a lyrical oboe concerto and high-energy Hungarian dance rhythms.
