Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE '...This disc is an excellent addition to the Sibelius discography and a convenient encapsulation of his late style. Here, apart form the tone poem Tapiola, is the last music he composed: two astoundingly original, highly contrasted symphonies and a selection from his Tempest incidental music, arguably the most perfect match between a score and a Shakespeare play since Mendelssohn's for A Midsummer Night's dream. The Icelandic orchestra and their Finnish conductor have an unmistakable feeling for Sibelius's elliptical idiom: clipped phrasing, strange twists and turns of form, trompe d'oreille movement endings, dramatic tempo modulations. Perhaps the move into the scherzo stretch of the one-movement Seventh is a trifle jerky, but the polyphonic grandeur is magnificently rendered, and the playing in all three works is fresh-toned, vigorous, richly sonorous...'
