Description
Enter a world of myth and legend with Finnish conductor Pietari Inkinen and the Singapore Symphony. Sibelius’s triumphant Lemminkäinen’s Return and Finlandia feature in this two-part exploration with the Singapore Symphony Chorus and Youth Choir lending its voices to the latter’s magnificent hymn, before soprano Johanna Rusanen soothes the evening with six wistful orchestral songs such as Illale (“To Evening”) and Var det en dröm (“Was it a dream?”). In the second half, we bring to life the Nibelungenlied in Inkinen’s own suite of epic chapters from Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, culminating in the fiery sacrifice of Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene.
