Elgar's 150th: The Enigma
Symphony Hall
This event is archived
Throughout 2007 we have been celebrating the anniversaries of Elgar and Grieg, and Sakari Oramo has chosen to close the year in style with their most popular pieces. Elgar’s music has been an Oramo speciality during his time with the CBSO, and the composer’s affectionate portrait of his Worcestershire friends is as fresh today as when it announced his arrival as a major international composer in 1899. Grieg’s evergreen concerto has retained an equally secure place in our affections, especially when played by the magnificent Norwegian pianist who has become its most famous modern interpreter. Music from Tchaikovsky’s seasonal ballet sets the seal on a perfect Christmas present!
