The Great Sibelius, and Strauss

Young masters, violinist Otto Antikainen and pianist Ossi Tanner share the stage at Lyceumklubi. 

”I have more skill, but he is greater.” Richard Strauss famously described Sibelius, his contemporary. The musicians will treat the audience with Finnish-German late romanticism masterworks.
