Manchester’s Hallé and the principal conductor Mark Elder are one of the UK’s great orchestral partnerships. The orchestra kicks off 2021 with Sibelius’s Third Symphony—a folk legend in an elegant classical frame. Elder pairs the symphony with Richard Strauss’s lyrical Serenade for Winds, written when the composer was just 17 years old, and there’s more precocity from pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, who at just 24 makes her debut with the Hallé as the soloist in Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto.
