Today's concert by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra features Sibelius's patriotic tone poem Finlandia, and his Violin Concerto of which Donald Tovey wrote 'I have not met a more original, a more masterly, and a more exhilarating work'. The soloist is Viktoria Mullova, with conductor Thomas Dausgaard. The concert ends with Nielsen's Second Symphony, The Four Temperaments, describing four personality types: choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic, and sanguine. The concert is presented by Tom Redmond.
