Majestic expanses of glittering fjords, sprawling tundra, and the indomitable human spirit were laid bare in the effulgent Nordic travelogue which transfixed concert attendees at Friday evening’s Toledo Symphony Classics Concert. From the ominous rumblings of the opening lower brass to the final inexorable heartbeat of the soul, every aspect of the program unleashed a world far beyond the ken of today’s urban and urbane existence.
