Sir Colin Davis is not only one of the greatest Sibelius interpreters of our time, but also a tireless trainer of young musicians. His Prom with the EUYO links the nature mysticism of Sibelius's Fifth to that of Brahms's Third, of which Clara Schumann noted: 'From start to finish one is wrapped about with the mysterious charm of the woods and forests … I hear the babbling brook and the buzzing of insects.' Brahms's Tragic Overture, the dramatic cousin to the Academic Festival Overture composed the same summer, opens the concert.
