2012.10.6. Seattle Symphony

Thomas Søndergård, conductor
Efe Baltacıgil, cello
Seattle Symphony
Mussorgsky: A Night on Bald Mountain
Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33
Sibelius: Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 39

I really like the 2nd to last piece of Tchaikovsky's variation. Sibelius' employs a lot of heavy drums, a master of big sound. It makes me think of outdoor concerts with green grass and heavy wind.
