Programme Note
Intimate Voices explores the musical and personal landscape of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius through his own words and compositions. From the stark simplicity of Scene with Cranes to the bold, distilled complexity of the seventh symphony; Sibelius is revealed through the intimate thoughts in his letters and the dark, awe-inspiring qualities of his musical imagination. Tamsin Waley-Cohen makes a welcome return to perform as soloist in the seldom heard Humoresques.
