Esa Tapani (horn) Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo Magnus Lindberg is one of Finland's leading international contemporary composers, together with Kaija Saariaho and Einojuhani Rautavaara. Commissions from the world's leading orchestras, such as The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic and his many recordings on Ondine and other major labels have helped to position him at the forefront of orchestral composition. Energy, colour and a thrilling density of material are the hallmarks of his recent style and the works recorded here, for the first time, offer entrancing examples thereof. This disc, to celebrate Lindberg's 50th birthday, follows on from the huge success of the Clarinet Concerto recording, also for Ondine, best contemporary / première recording both at the Gramophone Awards and the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2006. It also featured conductor Sakari Oramo and the Finnish RSO who are recognised experts in the field of their compatriot's music. |

Lisa Batiashvili (violin) Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo “…Batiashvili revels in the challenges, technical and expressive, that Lindberg has placed before her. This is a commanding first recording of a work that, in its approachability and appeal, deserves to become a modern
classic” Daily Telegraph Classical CD of the Week “Batiashvili bows a seamless, sensual line, her tone smooth as silk…unmissable” Gramophone Magazine “The formidable Lisa Batiashvili plays the hugely demanding solo part with breathtaking brilliance” Sunday Times “Still there's plenty of drama, fire and lyrical beauty in the Lindberg Concerto and the brilliant young soloist Lisa Batiashvili makes plenty of it. This is a searing performance, with strong support from the Finnish Radio Symphony… superbly recorded.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Marko Ylönen (cello) Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo This disc features major works of Finnish composer Joonas
Kokkonen - the dominant figure in post-war Finnish music since
the death of Jean Sibelius 50 years ago.The featured works were written between 1967 and 1971 during the
composer's late neo-Romantic period of free tonality. Kokkonen linked himself to the symphonic tradition of
Brahms and Sibelius.The Cello Concerto, with its profound central Adagio movement, is a gem in Finnish
concerto literature and probably the most-performed cello concerto by any Finnish composer. It features
soloist Marko Ylönen, who specialises in contemporary repertoire. Previous recordings with chief conductor
Sakari Oramo and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra include the Lindberg CD which won both a Classic
FM Gramophone Award and a BBC Music Magazine Award in 2006 (ODE10382). “Kokkonen's three finest orchestral scores in superlative readings.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
