2. Sinfoniekonzert by Various, mån 21 nov 2022, Från (2022/2022), Dirigent Hendrik Vestmann

It was a musician, Ernst Rudorff, who recognized the fragility of the natural balance as early as the middle of the 19th century through his deeply romantic character and became a pioneer in the nature conservation movement. But even he could hardly have dreamed that a few generations later even the rain forests would be in danger, which Tôru Takemitsu put into words in his drum piece 'Rain Tree'; or that the eternal ice is melting, as Daniel Michael Kaiser impressively conveys in his multimedia klangpol commissioned work 'White, Vanishing'. The encounter between the forces of nature and man is also the theme of the 'Sinfonia Antartica': it is the symphonic sublimation of a film score that Ralph Vaughan Williams had previously used in the feature film 'Scott's Last Journey' to underscore the dramatic failure of the British Terra Nova expedition.
