Sakari Oramo, conductor
Sakari Oramo directs the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra in two Russian masterworks, Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture, and Prokofiev's Symphony No 5. Prokofiev said that his Fifth Symphony depicted 'the greatness of the human spirit'. It's a gripping climax to a concert that begins with Tchaikovsky's star-crossed romance, and features Kaija Saariaho's ravishing True Fire, performed by its dedicatee, Gerald Finley.
Saariaho's music combines intense emotion with a shimmering, visionary sonic beauty, and this setting of poetry by Emerson and Seamus Heaney was created with the intelligence and burnished tone of Finley's singing very much in mind. The results are both surprising, and exquisitely lovely: 'This is a profound, important work', declared the LA Times at last year's world premiere.
