  FRSO: MAURICE DURUFLÉ: Requiem, GUSTAV HOLST: The Planets

  Nicholas Collon, conductor
  Jenny Carlstedt, mezzo-soprano
  Gabriel Kivivuori Sereno, baritone
  Helsinki Music Centre Choir
  Helsinki Chamber Choir

  Gustav Holst is said to have been irritated by the immoderate popularity of his Planets. The suite is nevertheless far more than just musical horoscope froth. Rather, it affords an interesting glimpse into the educated European worldview of the early 20th century – a time when rationalism was being undermined by a zest for theosophy and astrology.

  HKO: Bacchus ja Ariadne

  Helsingin kamarikuoro
  Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra
  Samy Moussa, conductor

  “Already as a child, I was enchanted by Albert Roussel’s ballet Bacchus and Ariadne,” says Samy Moussa, this season’s composer-in-residence. The concert programme, which draws on ancient Greece and the eternal questions of humanity, is complemented by Moussa’s own piece, premiered in 2024, in which Antigone wants to bury her brother who died in battle, even under the threat of the death penalty.
