When the HPO travels to Germany this year, it will bring along Sibelius's First Symphony, with which it charmed Europe 125 years earlier.

A telegram arrives from Hamburg in July 1900: “Today's concert was a great success. When the programme ended, Kajanus and Sibelius received ovations, they were constantly called forward, people shouted bravo, applauded, waved hats and handkerchiefs. Kajanus received a laurel wreath.” (Vasa Nyheter, 21 July 1900).

"But I'm not a violinist!" exclaimed Igor Stravinsky when his publisher suggested that he compose a violin concerto. The composer nevertheless took up the task with great self-confidence: “My concerto was not inspired by and did not allow itself to be influenced by any role model. I do not like standard violin concertos, those of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms.”
