London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis A high density DSD recording, Barbican Centre on 27-28 September 2006
(Symphony No 2) 18 September-9 October 2005 (Pohjola's Daughter) "Thirty years after his Boston Symphony Orchestra recording of the Second Symphony - long regarded as a benchmark in this work - his enquiring mind is still finding subtly new ways of guiding listeners through the composer's musical logic. Here there was a real feeling of progression from the fragmentary motifs of the opening movement to the climatic 'big tune' of the finale" Daily Telegraph Concert Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Sibelius - Symphony No. 2
Gürzenich-Orchester Köln, Yuri Ahronovitch Psyché was the last and most ambitious of Franck’s symphonic poems. Unlike the programmatic aspect of a tone poem, Sibelius’ symphony No. 2 is a vivid musical portrait of Finland which invokes a sense of national pride told through the music. The music is performed by the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln and conducted by Yuri Ahronovitch. The fact the recording is a live performance lends a decided "sense of occasion" to the rendition, a factor that certainly makes it worth hearing. |

| |  | Serge Koussevitzky
Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky This disc restores to the catalogue, after an absence of more than 50 years, Koussevitzky’s second recording of Peter and the Wolf, with Eleanor Roosevelt as narrator. Taped during his last recording sessions on 29th November, 1950, Koussevitzky’s performance of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 is given with an electricity that transcends studio conditions, yet it is not without light, shade and emotional retreat. The final such example of Koussevitzky’s art, which pertinently concludes this disc, is a rapt and expressive account of Grieg’s The Last Spring, notable for the warmth and intensity of the Boston strings. “Koussevitzky’s is a red-blooded, wholly abandoned approach…. both warm and brilliant… a supreme conductor who has still not had his full due.” Gramophone |
