After a rousing start with Jean Sibelius’ beloved Finlandia, Philharmonic favorite Maria Bachmann brings her artistry and glamour to Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable Violin Concerto. We finish up with two heart-on-sleeve Romantic rarities from Sweden: Franz Berwald’s noble Sinfonie Singuliere, and Hugo Alfven’s Swedish Rhapsody No. 1, “The Midsummer Vigil”—truly, one of the roof-raisers of the repertoire!
