Anatoli Ljadov: The Enchanted Lake op. 62

Verneri Pohjola / Timo Hietala: Trumpet Concerto “Against Darkness”, world premiere (Yle commission)
Alexander von Zemlinsky: Die Seejungfrau

Once upon a time…a gentle breeze ripples a magical lake. A jazz legend and an award-winning film composer strike sparks off each other. And Alexander von Zemlinsky turns from the glitter of imperial Vienna to the heart-rending tale of the Little Mermaid, in music that anyone who enjoys Mahler will simply love. John Storgårds conducts, and Verneri Pohjola plays Timo Hietala’s and Verneri Pohjola’s new trumpet concerto. But the real star here is your imagination.
