Jean Sibelius: String Quartet D Minor Op. 56 Voces intimae

Aspects, inner voices and high feelings are elements of this concert curated by Pasi Eerikäinen. “Hearing Sibelius’s Voces intimae string quartet when I was just a lad was an earth-shattering experience,” he says, “and ever since then I’ve always wanted to play it myself. Now at last is my chance.” To go with the Sibelius, he chose the string quartet by by Aulis Sallinen with its folkmusic associations, Rune Srensen’s jubilant Shine You No More, and an arrangement by the Danish String Quartet of a traditional folk song from the Shetland Islands.
