CD Reviews

An Absolutely fine complete collection

Matthew L. Pumphrey | Annapolis, MD United States | 10/30/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"On my first hearing of the forth Symphony in this collection, I was quite taken by the faster than usual pace given to this clear and precise reading. I have never heard it performed in this manner before and believe it to be very refreshing in all the symphonies stark loneliness. The Sixth symphony is also given a quick, yet poetic, reading. Putting the great performances aside, the excellent consistancy of orchestral dynamics throughout, the top-shelf professional recording, and the excellent price, make this a "MUST HAVE" in any collection (even and especially to those ears that are new to the great masters work). Highly Recommended!"

A most satisfying cycle

"Cycles of Sibelius symphones abound - but this is a special one. Gloriously rich recording and totally idiomatic playing by SNO makes this a most impressive cycle. There is no weakness anywhere. Not to be missed !"
