BBC Proms

Season 68 Episode 38: Prom 38: Sibelius, Bridge & Sir Peter Maxwell Davies

Sibelius’s slowly shifting structures and emotive musical language, showcased here in his Second Symphony, are echoed and evolved in Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s Fifth Symphony. John Storgårds and the BBC Philharmonic also mark the First World Way centenary in Bridge’s haunting Oration – part lament, part warning.
