BBC Proms: Nordic Night With The Estonian Festival Orchestra & Paavo Järvi

This concert with a Nordic flavour from Paavo Järvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra (making its Proms debut) pairs music by Grieg and Sibelius with Estonia’s own national composer, Arvo Pärt. Celebrated Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili – a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist – performs one of the great Romantic piano concertos. Beloved for its generous melodies and dramatic gestures, Grieg’s concerto is matched for sonic drama by Sibelius’s stirring Fifth Symphony. Arvo Pärt’s eclectic Third Symphony, with its echoes of Renaissance polyphony and Orthodox chant, opens the programme. “One of this season’s special Proms!” (The Guardian) (Cat. No.: A 025 50420 0000)
