Maestro 3: Finlandia featuring orchestra member Imants Larsen

A triumphant journey from darkness to light

Finnish national hero and one of the great symphonists, Sibelius drew inspiration from myths, legends and heroic tales in his Second Symphony. The piece traces a journey from darkness to light, evoking pastoral landscapes in typically expansive melodies and lush orchestration.

Sibelius’ nationalist tendencies are expounded in the ever-popular tone poem Finlandia, a stirring piece which teems with triumph, led by guest conductor Yutaka Sado.

Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) is joined by Li-Wei Qin as soloist in Barber’s nostalgically Romantic Cello Concerto, a rhythmic and fiercely virtuosic piece which finally erupts into a lyrical and sensuous theme.
