Sibelius's Violin Concerto is not a programmatic work, but it is permeated by the same northern colors and broad breath that are present in almost all the works of the creator of Finland. For the landscape is not a decoration – as in 18th-century music – but the landscape of the soul. Belonging to the core violin repertoire, this classical-form work has been continuously enchanting for over a hundred years not only with its mysterious atmosphere and richness of sound but also with its symphonic scope and originality of themes. Indeed, British musicologist Donald Tovey called the finale a “polonaise for polar bears”, yet he rightly granted it – a prestigious place among the most magnificent romantic violin concertos. To the great classics of 20th-century music belongs Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, in which – according to the words of Alex Ross – the Hungarian composer and folklorist “decided to throw away his notebook and start dancing together with them [the peasants]. From the strings rise clouds of dust that settle on the feet of the frenzied dancers.” Although Bartók softened his musical language in this polished work, giving it a classical form and employing almost euphonic sounds, he also preserved what is most important in his style – a vivid rhythm, colorful instrumentation, subtle inspirations from folklore. In a more direct way to folk music, Suite of Polish Dances by Gra!!!u017cyna Bacewicz, a master of neoclassicism, successfully combines it with folklorism.
