The première recording of Latvian Peteris Vasks' Third Symphony, a one-movement piece of spiritually deep and emotionally compelling music which promises to build on the success of the Second Symphony. This release, also on Ondine - coupled with the Violin Concerto 'Distant Light' (ODE 1005-2) and featuring the same performers - won the 2004 Cannes Classical Disc of the Year Award, in addition to the Orchestral 20th Century Award. The Third Symphony is coupled with the Cello Concerto (1993), a highly personal and moving work that reflects suffering under the Soviet regime and the strength that helped the people of his country to survive. It features soloist Marko Ylönen, who specializes in contemporary repertoire.The Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, one of Scandinavia's foremost symphony orchestras, is led by John Storgårds, who became Music Director in August 2006.
Splendid in every way (...). If you care at all about contemporary music then you will add this disc to your collection without delay.

Many wonder if in 2006 it is still possible to write symphonic music that contains a message, is modern and uncompromised. After the most sublime CD coupling the Second Symphony with the Violin Concerto (...), the same miracle has taken place again.
