Free Music Notes for Sibelius (Finlandia-Karelia Suite- Lemminkainen Suite)
Free Music Review: raw power
Hit: 5 Stars
The early music of Sibelius possesses a raw emotional power that appeals to some more than others - but with a recording as fresh, spontaneous and exciting as this, I for one surrender!The mythical landscapes of the Lemmink?inen Suite are magically evocative, with fine playing by the Icelanders - and while this is not the absolutely best Swan of Tuonela I have heard, it is still very fine. From the pale, nordic sun of the outer movements to the gloomy depths of Tuonela (land of the dead), this is a recording that totally draws you into a prehistoric world, with triumphs and horrors no less than todays'.
Not quite the same care and enthusiasm seems to have been invested in the Karelia-suite and Finlandia - but perhaps it is exactly the slight carelessness of the playing that makes you hear these over-played works almost anew.
With excellent sound, this is a sure winner.
