"Mozart's ability to transform darkly dramatic drama into sheer bliss makes this one of my favourite concertos. And Beethoven and Sibelius go even further - the noble heart of the unjustly held political prisoner almost explodes with unimaginable happinessas he released into the blaze of triumph and light that is the end of Leonore No 3, while Sibelius constructs the whole of the 5th Symphony as one huge journey to the power and glory of the final chords." - Sian Edwards
