Sibelius's First Symphony

The BBC Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John Storgårds present Sibelius's Symphony No. 1 - a thrilling glimpse of a composer emerging from the shadow of Tchaikovsky and his fellow Romantics. Canadian violinist James Ehnes is the soloist in Walton's fiercely direct Violin Concerto - a work full of song, dance and drama. The concert opens with a world premiere from heartily irreverent Irish composer Gerald Barry, focusing on Franz Kafka's obsession with wearing earplugs to silence the noise around him.
