    • The end of a ten-year tenure: Sakari Oramo bows out as Music Director in truly spectacular style, with a thrilling pair of life-affirming masterpieces. This is the last chance to see Sakari conduct the CBSO in Symphony Hall, until he returns in a new guise as Principal Guest Conductor for the 2008/09 season. Janácek's Sinfonietta is one of the greatest of all 20th-century scores, its brassy fanfares (featuring an extra nine trumpets in addition to a large orchestra) surrounding a work of astonishing originality and power. Beethoven's final Symphony is also a summation of a life's work, and its culminating vocal setting of Schiller's 'Ode to Joy' has become an anthem for all humanity. A great team of soloists and our own magnificent Chorus join the Orchestra for what is certain to be the hottest ticket of the season - be sure to book early!

      As Sakari Oramo prepares to conduct his final concerts as CBSO Music Director, he joins Stephen Maddock to look back on his ten years in Birmingham - and look forward to his future role as Principal Guest Conductor.

「第九」のソリストに気になる歌手が参加しているので、チェック。そしたらサカリ・オラモのバーミンガムでの10年間のおつとめ最後の演奏会だったようで... (楽団のサイトでは第九だけ聴けるようになってるけど、BBCのサイトは一週間で聴けなくなる...)。音楽監督としては最後でもさよならじゃないよ見たいなことですが、有終の美を熱演しておりました。
