Music reviews of Sibelius: Finlandia / Tone Poems
Music Review: World-class recording at a ridiculous bargain basement price
Rating: 5 Stars
Wow.
Despite a very low price, this is nothing short of a world-class compilation of Sibelius's tone poems.
I guess it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that this disc is the real McCoy; after all, we're dealing with the Philharmonia Orchestra under the seasoned baton of Finland's Paavo Berglund. And the sound...wow again. These are some of the most warm, crystal-clear sonics I think I've ever heard on a Sibelius recording. How can the price be so low for all this good stuff?
While everything here is stupendous, the two pieces that really stand out are THE OCEANIDES and TAPIOLA. In fact, they have become, I think, my favorite recordings of those pieces (and I am a devoted Sibelian).
I have never heard THE OCEANIDES played with such power. And then there's TAPIOLA. Never better has the mystery and terror of Sibelius's northern forests ever been commited to a recording. The orchestral detail is astounding and the crescendos pack a primaeval wallop. It's simply perfect.
At this price, or at any price, this is a Sibelius recording to treasure.
