A train entering a station, or the quiet roar of a people awakening to freedom? For Antonin Dvořák, it was simply the beginning of his Seventh Symphony: what follows is forty minutes of irresistible dance tunes and gripping action. For many, it’s even greater than the “New World” symphony: but then, this concert with the rising Estonian star Anu Tali is all about unexpected voices – whether the quiet revolution of Arvo Pärt’s hugely popular Fratres or fellow-Estonian Eduard Tubin’s lyrical post-war concerto for the most under-appreciated of instruments, the double bass. It's a giant with the soul of a poet – but hear for yourself, as the BBC SSO’s superb new Principal Double Bass Kai Kim steps into the spotlight.
