Sibelius' Violin Concerto is one of the most performed violin concertos of the 20th century. However, its tonal language belongs to the late 19th century, and the music is warm and lyrical, dramatic and melancholic. Sibelius, himself a violinist, possibly wrote the concerto he himself would have wanted to play – albeit on a technical level far beyond his own. It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.

Taking on the challenge is the Russian-born Israeli violinist Maxim Vengerov, one of the greats of our time, who has only performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra once before, and that was 30 years ago! He is ranked among the world's finest, and in addition to performing concerts on the major classical stages, he is a guest professor at both the International Menuhin Music Academy in Switzerland and the Royal College of Music in London.

Full of inspiration, Robert Schumann began work on his second symphony in early December 1845. However, his depressions, poor health, and constant tinnitus meant that it wasn't until the following autumn that the symphony was completed. Yet, his severe personal condition has not left its mark on the music at all; instead, the symphony is bright and forward-looking: a resounding triumph over the darker aspects of life.

The concert begins with the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's hypnotically evocative Ciel d’hiver, Winter Sky – an arrangement of a part of her orchestral work Orion. The music is inspired by the Greek myth of the hunter Orion, who was transformed into a constellation. Saariaho's music possesses a strange beauty that makes her unique, and she is considered one of the most significant composers of our time. Saariaho passed away in 2023, and ten years earlier, she was awarded the Polar Music Prize.

English

Sibelius Violinkonsert är en av de mest spelade av alla violinkonserter tillkomna under 1900-talet. Men tonspråket hör det sena 1800-talet till och musiken är varm och lyrisk, dramatisk och melankolisk. Sibelius, själv violinist, skrev möjligen den konsert han själv hade velat spela – om än på en spelteknisk nivå som var skyhögt över hans egen. Den hör till de mer utmanande i genren, det är många violinister som vittnat om det. 

Den som tar sig an utmaningen är den ryskfödde israeliske violinisten Maxim Vengerov, en av vår tids stora som bara har framträtt med Kungliga Filharmonikerna en gång tidigare, och det är nu 30 år sedan! Han rankas som en av de främsta i världen, och förutom att ge konserter på de stora klassiska scenerna är han gästprofessor både vid International Menuhin Music Academy i Schweiz och Royal College of Music i London.

Full av inspiration började Robert Schumann arbetet med sin andra symfoni i början av december 1845. Men depressionerna, hans dåliga hälsa och ständiga tinnitus gjorde att det dröjde till hösten året därpå innan symfonin låg klar. Ändå har hans svåra personliga tillstånd inte alls gjort avtryck i musiken, för symfonin är i stället ljus och framåtblickande: en klingande seger över livets mörka sidor.

Konserten inleds med finska Kaija Saariahos hypnotiskt målande Ciel d’hiver, Vinterhimmel, ett arrangemang av en del ur hennes orkesterverk Orion. Musiken är inspirerad av den grekiska myten om jägaren Orion som förvandlades till en stjärnbild. Saariahos musik har en sällsam skönhet som gör henne unik och hon räknas som en av vår tids mest betydande tonsättare. Saariaho gick bort 2023, och tio år tidigare tilldelades hon Polarpriset.
