    Josep Caballé-Domenech, conductor

    SIBELIUS Symphony No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 82

    This richly romantic Symphony was written by Finland’s greatest composer just before his country finally achieved independence and nationhood in 1917. Sibelius claimed the best-loved tune from this work was inspired by seeing a flight of wild swans over the countryside near his home in Finland. He was haunted by this connection. This program reveals how Sibelius developed these ideas into his original version of the Fifth Symphony—before he decided to withdraw the work and recompose it into something very different. We’ll explore the musical process, from his compositional sketches to a full-blown masterpiece.
