Carl Nielsen: Symphony no. 4 op. 29, “Inextinguishable”
At the heart of the Oulu Sinfonia headlined concert is the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus. Against the will of the king of the gods, Prometheus gave fire to mankind and was cruelly punished for it. This fire has carried mankind from the pristine nature portrayed at the beginning of the concert to the present day. Now, fire is a symbol of life and the will to live, relentless and tenacious, as Nielsen described it in his Symphony No. 4, ”Inextinguishable”.
