I wish HKPhil will play more Sibelius. Maestro Lio's absolutely stunning direction of the 7th here shows that HKPhil is naturally suited for Sibelian reportoire (and the 2nd they played last season under Osmo Vanska's baton was also staggering)! Will future programming please reflect HKPhil's natural affinity for Sibelius?

Seconding Obile here and expanding the request further - HKPhil should play more composers from that era such as Grieg, Franck, Ravel, etc.
