Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra

FRSO with special guest Brett Dean

Brett Dean has chosen Sibelius’s Scene with Cranes as an introduction to his own Fire Music. He experiences the cranes’ mournful lament as a metaphor for both life and death. Fire Music was a reaction to the Australian bushfires in 2009. The Ariel alluded to in the title of his Clarinet Concerto is not the Shakespearean character but refers to a little girl who died of AIDS. Ariel’s Music was one of Dean’s first major works and won an award from the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers.
