Episode overview

Suzy Klein and Zeb Soanes present music from Sibelius, including his seventh symphony. Hungarian-born pianist Andras Schiff joins Sir Mark Elder and the Halle for a performance of Bartok's lyrical Third Piano Concerto, written at the end of the composer's life while in exile in New York, and the concert ends with Janacek's show-stopping Sinfonietta, an exhilarating evocation of his home city of Brno. Includes the interval conversation with Mark Elder, Andras Schiff and members of the Halle.
