City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Often considered to embody the spirit of Finnish nationalism, Sibelius’s Second Symphony is one of the composer’s warmest pieces. The violin concerto Offertorium by Tartar-born composer Sofia Gubaidulina has become a modern classic. It is just the piece to showcase the lyricism and emotional depth of Latvian-born violinist Baiba Skride’s playing to the full. Conducted by Andris Nelson. Baiba Skride's performance supported by Mr and Mrs James Anderson.
