Mahler: Symphony No. 3 (2004) more music like this

composed by Gustav Mahler, Spoken Word

Opinions differ on how to interpret Mahler's Symphony No. 3, a work of such convoluted material, extreme contrasts, and immense proportions that it inevitably invites disagreements. But few can deny that Benjamin Zander has elicited a brilliant performance from the Philharmonia Orchestra, or that his reading is thoughtful and provocative in the ...

composed by Ingvar Lidholm, Sven-David Sandström

Elephantine musical masterworks, common in the Baroque period, are an increasing rarity as time goes on, and recordings of relatively new ones are rarer even still. In recording Sandström: The High Mass, Deutsche Grammophon has rendered a tremendous service in presenting one such gigantic contemporary work in a top-drawer performance led by ...

composed by Jean Sibelius

It seems that, in terms of his music, Jean Sibelius wanted to show a different face to Finland than the one seen by the rest of the world. Music that he produced for specific local occasions such as theatrical productions and cantatas for university graduations betray a mildly experimental bent that is analogous in painting to the work of an early ...

composed by Jean Sibelius

This gargantuan 15-disc set is immodestly billed as The Essential Sibelius, and with the inclusion of all the symphonies, most of the tone poems, much of incidental music, many of the songs, plenty of the chamber music, lots of the choral music, and tons of the piano music, it would be hard to argue that the billing isn't accurate. Of course, some ...

composed by Aulis Sallinen

Finnish label Ondine's release of The King Goes Forth to France is the first recording of the 1984 opera by Aulis Sallinen on a libretto by Paavo Haavikko. Haavikko is one of the most renowned figures in contemporary Finnish literature, and The King Goes Forth to France has its origins in a radio play presented on Finnish Radio a decade earlier. ...

The Sibelius Edition, Vol. 3: Voice & Orchestra (2007) more music like this

composed by Jean Sibelius

Volume Three in Bis' collection of the complete works of Sibelius isn't for everybody. Indeed, considering it contains the Finnish composer's nearly unknown works for voice and orchestra, it probably isn't for anybody except his deepest and most dedicated fan. The biggest work here -- the five movement, eighty minute long Kullervo Symphony -- was ...

composed by Jean Sibelius

This two-disc set of Paavo Järvi conducting Sibelius will be mandatory listening for fans of the Finnish conductor for two reasons. First and foremost, it easily contains the best performance of his early one-act opera The Maiden in the Tower ever recorded. As Sibelius' fans know, this is not all that difficult a trick since there has only ever ...
