Description  Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 7 BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Thomas Søndergård Linn: CKD462 http://www.linnrecords.com/r...sibelius-symphonies-2-7.aspx The Telegraph 15th March 2015 **** “Søndergård's new recording appreciates the scale and substance of Sibelius' work...The BBC NOW...responds keenly to the way that Søndergård subtly controls aspects of tempo, instrumental balance and the shifting of mood to create a genuine sense of the music’s organically conceived nature.” Sunday Times 29th March 2015 “The BBC National Orchestra of Wales here shows itself to be in fine fettle, offering cogent, clear-textured performances.” The Herald (Glasgow) March 2015 “Sondergard's Sibelius Two is breathtaking in its speedy pacing, lightness of foot, and command of the internal fluctuations of pace, mood and momentum that make this most organic masterpiece so natural in its growth....The playing of BBC NOW, in line with its conductor's evident vision, is astonishing in its sophistication. Their flawless performance of the Seventh Symphony, if you love this music, will break your heart.” The Observer 12th April 2015 **** “On the basis of their impressive debut album, the omens for this partnership are good. Symphony No 2 has a haunting inner strength, especially in the andante, with Søndergård keeping a tight rein on emotions until the expansive last movement. The elusive, one-movement Symphony No 7 – Sibelius’s last – is similarly intense and rigorous. Woodwind and brass mix rawness with grandeur.” Sharing Widget |
