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)
