I went looking for performances of the Sibelius 7th on You Tube.I found a performance from the 2013 Proms with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by Daniel Harding. Unfortunately the video includes the intro' by the ineffable, dreadful, asinine Katie Derham.
Having commented on Sibelius's later silence as a composer Ms Derham says:
"You know, I always think that it is amazing that Sibelius, who most active as a composer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, should have lived long enough to hear Elvis Presley".
...and with that thought in one's mind begins one of Sibelius's most profound,beautiful and moving compositions
Am I alone in finding this woman and her ignorant comments insufferable?
No.
