RNS: Nordic Symphonies @ Middlesbrough Town Hall
Olli Mustonen director/piano
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Jean Sibelius Symphony No. 7
Edvard Grieg Piano Concerto
Carl Nielsen Symphony No. 1
Sibelius’s Seventh Symphony is music of elemental majesty and grandeur, evoking the power of nature. Conductor and pianist Olli Mustonen returns to Tyneside bringing a very personal charisma and warmth to Grieg’s lovely, ever-fresh Piano Concerto and Nielsen’s proud Symphony No 1. Power, pride and untamed inspiration; this should be quite a ride!
