Sibelius’ Symphony No. 1 in E Minor combines bold orchestral power with moments of haunting beauty, revealing the distinctive voice that would make him one of Finland’s most celebrated composers. Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto in E Minor brings lyrical elegance, fiery technique, and unforgettable melodies, featuring violinist Brendan Speltz as soloist. Together, these works showcase the drama, beauty, and expressive range of the Romantic orchestra.
