The opening number comes from William Walton’s score to the 1944 period drama Henry V, the concluding feature is Jean Sibelius’s most recognizable symphony complete with its grandiloquent horn passages.

Elina Vähälä, one of Finland’s most internationally renowned violinists, presents the Violin Concerto by Jaakko Kuusisto, characterised by The Who frontman Pete Townshend as “a mind-blowing adventure, crazy at times, but incredibly charming”.
