Live Music
BBC Proms: Sibelius’s Second
Royal Albert Hall
Sibelius's Second is the centrepiece here. Britten's Cello Symphony opens it, Guy Johnston as soloist, and Turnage's Festen Suite (UK premiere) closes it. Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra. You move through intimate cello work, then Sibelius at his most dramatic, then new music.
This is how Proms nights should work: serious programming, the Hall built for the scale, no filler. If orchestral writing with real depth appeals, it's worth your time. Hearing Turnage's piece for the first time in the UK adds to it.
