If you would like to hear one of the most beautiful oboe solos in orchestral music, don’t miss Don Juan. A love scene is depicted in the middle of the piece that begins with a sweet and seductive oboe melody infused with both tenderness and erotic undertones. The orchestral poem also depicts the more lascivious episodes of Don Juan’s adventures in love, in an incredible orchestral sound that is filled with speed and verve. No one is safe in Don Juan’s tragic and fruitless search for the ideal woman.
Sibelius’ sunny Symphony No 3 was composed between 1905 and 1907. The première performance was initially set for March 1907 in London, where Sibelius had given a highly acclaimed guest performance the previous season. But the work took more time and the symphony did not premiere until September – in Helsinki, with the composer serving as conductor. A few years later, fortunate Gothenburg residents had the chance to experience the composer conducting the symphony himself on 6 February 1911: “The concert was an enormous event and Sibelius was lauded with laurel wreaths and flowers, and finally, as the audience cheered, with fanfare from the orchestra.” (Handelstidningen)
