Have a nice concert night

The violin concerto, the only one Jean Sibelius ever wrote, had a checkered beginning after its composition in 1904.
The violinist to whom it was dedicated was to have played the premiere in Berlin, but couldn't make it to Helsinki when the venue was changed, and the stand-in couldn't manage the work's unbelievable technical demands. The result was a disaster.
Yes but the violin concerto is great.

So Portland PressHerald is writing about Sibelius.
When we take it combined with the Sibelius Violin Concerto and Karelia suite, by Sibelius, it´s one of the greatest masterworks in the World, also my favorite.

The next PSO concert will be conducted by Christopher Warren-Green, music director of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra and music director and principal conductor of the London Chamber Orchestra. The soloist will be internationally acclaimed violinist Steven Moeckel, concertmaster of the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra.
