Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra - Sibelius: The Symphonies; Tone Poems

Neeme Jarvi's partnership with the Gothenburg orchestra is "a living legend in Nordic music" - Daily Telegraph (London). All the Sibelius masterpieces from a superb orchestra that he himself conducted. "Exciting, passionate [No.1]... Impressive drive and drama [No.2]... a refreshing, vital interpretation [No.3]... Tremendous power [No.4]... Very impressive [No.5]... The sonics are very good (Classics Today [Symphonies]). "A superior Sibelius anthology, crowned by a thoughtful Tapiola studded with stimulating detail... Soile Isokoski is magnificent [in Luonnotar]... The DG recording is quite exemplary (Gramophone [Tone-poems]). 7 CDs.
