Program Notes & Works
Canzonetta, Opus 62a, from the incidental music for Kuolema (arr. Stravinsky)
The Canzonetta (“little song”), “valse romantique,” is a deeply melancholy, four-minute song without words.
Violin Concerto in D
Symphony No. 5
Sibelius led the premiere of his protean, triumphant Symphony No. 5 in 1915 and, despite public success, twice withdrew and revised it before premiering the final version in 1919.
