Chloé van Soeterstède conductor
Expansive opulent melodies and sensitive orchestration. Hollywood meets Vienna with Korngold’s dazzling Violin Concerto. From the idyllic opening to the spirited finale, this indulgent work will captivate and inspire.
An expansive sonic canvas, immerse yourself in Sibelius’ daring symphony. Amidst a gloomy landscape enters a solo clarinet, and so begins this work filled with lamenting melodies, passionate waves of sound, unrelenting tension, and Tchaikovskian touches.
Renowned for her sensitive, expressive music-making, Chloé van Soeterstède conducts Southbank Sinfonia in this highly expressive programme.
