Album information
Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali and his Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra present the third instalment of their phenomenally successful Sibelius series.
After the critical success of the first two volumes of the complete Sibelius symphonies (Gramophone Editor’s Choice, Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Diapason d’or, FFFF Télérama etc. ), Santtu-Matias Rouvali and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra introduce us to the ‘green’ side of Sibelius who, suffering from health problems and financial worries, moved to the shores of Lake Tuusula just before writing his Third Symphony. His output was powerfully inspired by nature. In April 1915, when the world was in chaos, he wrote in his diary of the appearance of sixteen swans over the lake and noted down their cry, which inspired the great horn theme of the Fifth Symphony’s finale.
In contrast, Finland’s folkloric poetry was the inspiration for his symphonic fantasy Pohjola's Daughter, which completes the programme.

'Rouvali, on this evidence, is the one to follow….The Swedes think they own Sibelius at least as much as the Finns. This orchestra absolutely does.'
The Critic
'Those new to Rouvali’s Sibelius will also be struck by other characteristics of his cycle: the rhythmic precision of the playing and clarity given to the composer’s part-writing among them.'
