BBC Proms 2018: Paavo Järvi conducts a Nordic Night

Synopsis

A concert with a Nordic flavour from Paavo Järvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra (making its Proms debut) pairs music by Grieg and Sibelius with Estonia's own national composer, Arvo Pärt. Celebrated Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili performs one of the great Romantic piano concertos. Beloved for ist generous melodies and dramatic gestures, Grieg's concerto is matched for sonic drama by Sibelius's stirring Fifth Symphony. Arvo Pärt's eclectic Third Symphony, with ist echoes of Renaissance polyphony and Orthodox chant, opens the concert.“One of this season’s special Proms!” (The Guardian) PROGRAM Pärt: Symphony No 3; Grieg: Piano Concerto; Jean Sibelius: Symphony No 5
