Free Music Notes for Sibelius: Cantatas

Free Music Review: Wonderful music
Hit: 5 Stars

It bought this CD some years ago and now I bought an additional copy in case of damage. This is one of my favorite CDs, containing some of Sibelius' lesser known works like Oma Maa, Maan virsi, Väinön virsi and Snöfrid. I enjoy Järvi's excellent reading of this music. Great singing and excellent sound. It's a must for Sibelians and a great surprise, I think, for anyone loving this composer. Highly recommended!!

Sibelius: Cantatas Poster

Sibelius's choral music is deeply felt, nationalistic, and stirring. Subject matter ranges from the glory of the Northern lights (in "Oma maa" [Our Native Land]) to the Swedish-language "Sandels," in which a general, seemingly a coward, leads his men to victory through patience and odd timing, to the glories of the Earth ("Maan virsi"), to tales of characters from Finnish folklore. Most are for male choir, a couple are for mixed choir, and all are acompanied by large orchestra. Sibelius's ablity to tell a story is remarkable (it makes one wish he'd been more interested in opera), and desite the similarity in the forces used, the effects here are varied, from rousing to elegaic, to simply entertaining. These performances are superb, and Paavo Järvi's leadership is urgent. The sonics are glorious. This is a must-have for those who love Sibelius and it will surprise newcomers with its fervor, energy and beauty. --Robert Levine
