· This new release from BIS is the final installment in the
Sibelius cycle from Osmo Vanska and the Minnesota
Orchestra. The prior albums found incredible success upon
their release, with the second receiving a Grammy Award for
`Best Orchestral Performance.'
·
This album combines Sibelius's Third Symphony, completed
in 1907, with his two final symphonies, Nos. 6 and 7,
which were composed between 1922 and 1924. The Third
Symphony is his most classical symphony, which was a
radical direction change after the opulence of his second.
Conductor Koussevitzky called the work `music far in
advance of its time.'
·
The Sixth Symphony again surprised his admirers with its
intense climaxes and virtuosic orchestrations. Immediately
following came his symphonic swan song, the stern but
majestic Seventh Symphony.
