Sibelius: Symphonies No. 1 4

Opis

Sibelius: Symphonies No. 1 4Opis:Product Description Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 are poles apart in their musical style and make a highly interesting pairing for this new release. Symphony No. 1 is rooted in the symphonic tradition and has a particular tunefulness reminiscent of Tchaikovsky, whereas Symphony No. 4 is highly original and introverted, often being seen as modern and 'cubist' by listeners in the 1890s.

The Minnesota Orchestra and its music director Osmo Vänskä were highly praised for their previous release of Symphonies Nos. 2 & 5 (BISSACD1986), being called 'a fine start to what may be the benchmark cycle for the 21st century' by Gramophone, and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance. Vänskä has really enhanced the quality of the Minnesota Orchestra since he took the position of musical director in 2003. He has since had his tenure extended many times and continues to carve an international reputation for the ensemble.

Review 'This is a thoroughly compelling account of Sibelius's enigmatic Fourth Symphony. Vanska is one of the greatest living Sibelius conductors and knows how to bring out the despair at the heart of this spare, icy almost rebarbative masterpiece. The Minnesotans, recorded in brilliantly clear acoustics, rise to the challenge with growling basses and plaintive horns.' --The Daily Telegraph, 27/04/2013'The mark of a distinguished performance is to render the music however familiar it may be to the listener as fresh as paint, with a host of new insights opened in prismatic fashion. That is very much the case when listening to Sibelius s First Symphony in a performance as authoritative as is granted here (and, what s more, with a recording quality that places the disc among the most impressive readings the Symphony has ever received).' --Classical CD Choice'On a technical level it sounds impeccable. The polished string sonority, allied to trim woodwinds and meaty brass, gives the performances a completely different atmosphere to Vanska's first Sibelius cycle with the Lahti Sinfonia.' --The Financial Times, 25/05/2013'Full-blooded the First certainly is; its first movement fairly sweeps one away with its youthful energy, intensified by the spacious SACD sound...the First exhibits a strong sense of form and deeply felt detail.' --BBC Music Magazine, August 2013Autor:Minnesota OrchestraNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2013Waga: 0.22 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 4.9 cmDługość: 5.6 cmShrink-wrappedUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
