Overview
Copland Appalachian Spring: Suite. Errollyn Wallen Cello Concerto. Liadov The Enchanted Lake. Sibelius Symphony No. 5. Enyi Okpara* conductor. Laura van der Heijden cello. A concert filled with the energy and promise of spring. ‘What beauty!’ declared Sibelius when he saw a flight of wild swans, and the melody they suggested to him is the kind of tune that comes once in a lifetime. But that’s just the climax of his epic Fifth Symphony – part of a concert filled with the energy and promise of spring. LPO Fellow Conductor Enyi Okpara – a true rising star – begins with the open spaces and big, fresh tunes of Copland’s great American ballet, before summoning shimmering magic from Liadov’s Enchanted Lake. And cellist Laura van der Heijden plays a rapturous new classic by the Master of the King’s Music, Errollyn Wallen.
