“Adès’ Violin Concerto tours the boundaries of madness, with ecstatic babblings, orchestral cataclysms, stammering brass, and limping dinosaur treads” (New York Magazine). Swedish-Norwegian violinist Johan Dalene impresses as an interpreter of Adès’s concerto. “Where silence played a role in Adès’s concerto, here every silence was charged with emotion; Dalene transformed the notation into a story that literally drew you in” (Klassiek-Centraal).
In Sibelius’s Lemminkäinen Suite, the composer’s most famous bird, the Swan of Tuonela swan, glides over dark waters.
