The charged moods in Sauli Zinovjev's music have attracted attention on concert stages around the world: “Brisk, exciting and unpredictable” (The Wall Street Journal).
“A Shostakovichian mood of alternately furious and stunned emotional burden” (The New York Times).
The first half of the concert belongs to Tchaikovsky! The symphonic ballad The Voyevoda is related to the composer's opera of the same name, whose interlude and ballet were often performed at the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra's popular concerts in the early 20th century. However, the symphonic ballad itself is now likely being performed for the very first time at an HPO concert.
