Ulster Orchestra: Soaring Spirits
Description
This concert explores the wide range of emotions that humans are capable of.
One of the great masterworks, Elgar’s Cello Concerto is a wistful, beautiful piece that falls towards the end of Elgar’s composing career, when he wondered if he still had any musical relevance, and there’s a sense of solitude – even loneliness – that haunts this work. Elsewhere, the Ulster Orchestra brass take to the skies, first in the sun chariot of the Greek God Helios in Saint-Saëns’s Phaeton Overture and then as a flock of whooper swans in that famous finale of Sibelius’s triumphant Fifth Symphony.
