About

It is amazing that Sibelius wrote his seven symphonies in the span of just 26 years. They are the core of his oeuvre. All Sibelius’ music is firmly rooted in Finnish soil. It is true that his symphonies do not particularly relate to the German tradition of this genre. The examples of Tchaikovsky and Grieg rather than Beethoven and Brahms were his models.
 
The composer’s great sense of structure and melody in addition to his highly effective orchestrations shine through in all these performances. Segerstam demands great flexibility from the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and it responds with thrilling enthusiasm.
 
In Memoriam’, opus 59, and the magical music for ‘The Tempest’, make interesting bonus material.
