Presented by Petroc Trelawny

David Robertson conducts the 91热爆 SO in music by Sibelius' Tapiola and Symphony No 5 and Detlev Glanert's Musik f眉r Violine und Orchester.

German composer Detlev Glanert invited 91热爆 SO leader Stephen Bryant to introduce his violin concerto to the UK after a meeting at the 2009 91热爆 Proms. Inspired by Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, the concerto is an ideal introduction to the composer's beautifully crafted music and distinctive soundworld. The New York Times described David Robertson's 2009 Carnegie Hall performance of Sibelius's triumphant Fifth Symphony as 'the most transparent and riveting account of Sibelius's elusive Fifth Symphony in memory'.
