Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Berglund Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was Finland’s greatest composer and the most powerful symphonist to have come from Scandinavia. Eight years before his first of the seven numbered symphonies was written he composed the five movement work entitled Kullervo based on the Finnish national literary epic, from which he took so much inspiration, the Kalevala. Scored for two soloists, male chorus and orchestra it established him overnight as a leading musical figure. Paavo Berglund made a detailed study of the score and his recording in November 1970 made with Finnish singers but with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, of which he was musical director, was revelatory inspiring many other conductors to perform and record this major work. The set is completed by three tone poems – the ever popular Finlandia, The Oceanides and his final completed work, Tapiola – the first suite of Scènes historiques, two movements from the Karelia Suite and the two Serenades for Violin and Orchestra in which Ida Haendel is the soloist. |

| |  | Tchaikovsky & Sibelius - Orchestral Works
Boston Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis Remastered Quadro Recording (RQR) “Another superb instalment in Pentatone’s quadraphonic re-mastering series. Davis’s Tchaikovsky (1812, Romeo and Juliet) is relatively unfamiliar, his Sibelius (Pohjola, Karelia) more a known and welcome quantity. Playable in stereo, but 4.0 multi-channel brings the real revelations. Magnificent.” Terry Blain, BBC Music Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Yoel Levi “Pohjola's Daughter toughens for some raw, fiery excitement, with screaming winds and powerful brass, and a genuinely atmospheric close. Furthermore, Levi is keenly responsive to the noble chorale themes in Finlandia and the Karelia Suite (Tempo di menuetto), coaxing his strings to achieve quartet-style intimacy and inflecting phrases with a delicate ear.” Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
