Tonight’s RNCM Chamber Orchestra concert continues our journey Nørth, opening with Grieg’s first Peer Gynt Suite, one of two concert suites which evolved from the composer’s original incidental music score for Ibsen’s play. Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations takes its inspiration from the 18th century and the genius in the work is the manner in which the composer transforms the original theme into numerous and different personalities, each logical and effective. The evening draws to a close with Sibelius’ First Symphony, whose assuredly individualistic orchestral textures and themes hint at the highly original writing approach that the composer was to develop.
