CD Reviews

Colorful and refreshing Sibelius

Jeffrey Lee | Asheville area, NC USA | 06/13/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Though I enjoy greatly Sibelius' music, I was a little unsure as to whether I should buy this disc, fearing some of the selections in the complete Karelia and the incidental music to Kuolema would merely constitute pablum. Happily, on this count, I turned out to be wrong. I was also concerned about some of the pieces which included voice, however, they proved to be both interesting and pleasantly satisfying. Musically, Karelia depicts some of the milestone historical events in Finland's quest for national unity and independence. There is a wonderful range of melodic expression throughout both it and the original version of Kuolema, based on Jarnefelt's play. Drama, charm, heroism and the beauty of the Nordic landscape are all clearly, colorfully and invigoratingly presented by Osmo Vanska and the attractive sounding Lahti Symphony Orchestra. Incidentally, the original version of the composer's Valse Triste is also included. It receives a nice performance as well. Altogether, this disc exceeded my expectations for enjoyment. It also provides excellent sound reproduction. Another very fine production from Bis."
