‘One of the great experiences of my life! God, how beautiful,’ wrote Sibelius in his diary, alongside the climactic theme ending his Fifth Symphony, after having witnessed 16 swans take flight. Your heart will soar with Sibelius’ stunning music, after a performance of Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto by violin tour de force Viktoria Mullova.
