Sibelius 50th-anniversary
edition
7-CD set 00289 477 6654
INTERNATIONAL RELEASE DATE: 1 August 2007
Neeme Jarvi’s partnership with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra
has become “something of a living legend in Nordic music” (Daily
Telegraph, London).
This capbox anthology – released 50 years after Sibelius’s death
in 1957 – features all of the composer’s masterworks performed by
a superb orchestra, one that the composer conducted
himself.
“Impressive drive and drama… A refreshing,
vital interpretation” (Classics Today on the
symphonies)
“A superior Sibelius anthology, crowned by a
thoughtful ‘Tapiola’ studded with stimulating detail... Soile
Isokoski is magnificent [in ‘Luonnotar’]... The DG recording is
quite exemplary”
(Gramophone on the tone
poems)
