The new Chief Conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Hong Kong-born conductor Elim Chan directs this thrilling concert of musical fireworks. Finnish composer Kalevi Aho is fascinated with instrumental colour and effect, and with his concerto for percussion, he unleashes the whole panoply of percussion sounds from the explosive to the caressing. By way of contrast, Stravinsky offers a moment of intense emotion in his recently-rediscovered memorial on the death of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov, and the sumptuous colour of a spectacular ballet score Petrushka.
