Sibelius
Friday November 4, 2005 - Concertgebouw Amsterdam
Peter Donohoe, piano
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Sakari Oramo (conductor)
I have two subscription series for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. One series offers the more iron repertoire, the other 20th and 21th century music. This concert was in that modern series, though the programme was relative conventional. The piece by Magnus Lindberg gave a lot of noise; a bad orchestral work but a good physical training for the conductor. The Bartók and Sibelius are masterpieces of course, and were performed very well. I think chief conductor Mariss Jansons would do a more exciting Sibelius, but as a real lover of Sibelius I'm glad with every performance of his works by this great orchestra.
