Kirill Petrenko and Frank Peter Zimmermann
Edward Elgar is to England what Jean Sibelius is to Finland: both composers gave their country its own musical language. In his Lemminkäinen Suite, Sibelius transports us to the world of Finnish legends and tells of the adventures of a high-spirited hero. Elgar’s Romantic and genteel Violin Concerto reflects the spirit of Victorian England. Violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, acclaimed for his soulful tone, performs the concerto under the direction of Kirill Petrenko.
