Violin Concertoin D minor, Op.471. I. Allegro moderato2. II. Adagio di molto 3. III Allegro, ma non tanto Symphony No.5 in E flat major, Op. 824. I. Tempo molto moderato. Allegro moderato (ma poco a poco stretto). Vivace molto. Presto5. II. Andante mosso, quasi allegretto6. III. Allegro moltoCurrently leader of the English Chamber Orchestra (and formerly of the prize-winning Vellinger Quartet), violinist Stephanie Gonley has appeared as a soloist with many of the leading orchestras in the UK. She gives an especially dreamy, sensual interpretation of the first movement of Sibelius's violin concerto, written in homage to the great Romantic tradition. Epic-heroic writing characteristic of the Romantics also imbues the outer movements of his Fifth Symphony, which is leavened with an Andante in variation form, pastoral and cheerful in mood.
