Is Sibelius's Seventh Symphony a “heroic failure” or a “beauty stripped of all that is not essential”? And does his Sixth Symphony smell like first snow, as the composer himself considered? Chief conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste presents a clear view of Sibelius’s last symphonies. “Gerhaher shades each note and word with such beauty and subtlety that it feels as if he’s whispering into your ear.” (The Times) The Munich baritone's visit is a landmark event for fans of German vocal music.
