Stirring. Inspiring. Monumental.
From the gentle melody that opens Sibelius’s Second, to its magnificent, surging finale you can see why the composer once compared it to a river gathering speed and strength as it courses to the sea. But it was also interpreted as a rallying call for Finland’s independence from Tsarist Russia.

Conductor Taavi Oramo sparks vivid life into Arvo Pärt's 'Fratres'. There’s a World Premiere, too, from the exuberant cellist, Abel Selaocoe, who returns to the BBC SSO, and fuses Western and African traditions into something universal and completely unique.
