Strauss's Don Juan and Stravinsky's Firebird suite

This programme promises an explosion of colour and character for all the family, from Strauss’s vaulting portrait of the Iothario Don Juan to Grieg’s heroic piano concerto and to the spangled exoticism of Stravinsky’s fairy-tale ballet The Firebird - one of 91Èȱ¬ Ten Pieces. In between comes Sibelius’s brooding, atmospheric tone- poem En Saga, which he said contained ‘the whole of my youth’. He asked ‘ can one think of anything other than Finland while listening to it?’ The acclaimed young Spanish virtuoso Javier Perianes, described as ‘a poet at the keyboard’, joins Sakari Oramo in Grieg’s famous concerto.
