A sunrise on the sea. Flutes shine like the sun over the waves of the strings. This is pure impressionism, it could describe a passage from Claude Debussy’s “La mer”. But it illustrates a composition by Jean Sibelius: “Die Okeaniden”, called “Rondeau der Wellen” by the Finnish musician in German. Sibelius wrote the impressionistic water music for his own concert tour to the USA in spring 1914, nine years after Debussy’s “La mer”. Both works are now directly opposite each other in the RSB concert under the direction of Dima Slobodeniouk.
