Written in the stars
The word ‘sunny’ was meant to describe Haydn’s First Cello Concerto – 20 minutes of pure joy, from its chirruping opening movement through to the spirited exchanges between soloist and orchestra in the finale. The starry beauty of a wintry night sky inspired the shimmering soundscape by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. Sibelius’ symphony – rugged and magnificent – has an elemental power and immense intensity. Legend has it that Don Juan was the world’s greatest lover, and in Strauss’s musical portrait you’ll find out why; the opening string flurry, capped by blazing trumpets, puts you at once in a world of amorous pursuit.
