Proms 2012 Prom 35: Sibelius, Delius, Grieg & Nørgård by Sibelius, Delius, Grieg, Nørgård, Schumann, Frá (2012/2012), Hljómsveitarstjóri John Storgårds, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

In his first Prom as Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic, John Storgårds bookends his programme with two Sibelius symphonies. Delius’s decadent Cynara serves as a vocal upbeat to Grieg’s evergreen piano concerto. The remaining element is new to these shores, an exciting and dynamic work from the prolific, unpredictable doyen of Nordic symphonists.
