Leading the way with prominent brass again today, with gorgeous, languid Cuban trombone and trumpet. Brass will be very prominent with the upcoming return of Fanfare Ciocarlia to Canada after a 9 year absence with dates in Quebec city, Montreal, Toronto Sep 19-21:

Today's show continues my Sibelius symphony cycle with his glorious 5th symphony. Originally completed in 1915, he completely revised it in 1919. The symphony features a very tightly constructed three movement work which uses a limited range of musical material and themes in an almost obsessively repetitive way, yet he achieves a stunning, emotional, and dramatic piece of music. |
