	Sibelius - Complete Symphonies Now, here's a recording enterprise of the utmost fascination. Malmo-born Sixten Ehrling ... more was still only in his early 30s when he was invited by the Swedish Metronome label to set down the first ever complete cycle of Sibelius symphonies on disc. The task began in late January 1952 and finished within a calendar year. Right from the dusky outset of the First Symphony, there's a tingling freshness and big-hearted fervour about this music-making. In Ehrling's gifted hands, the first two symphonies especially have a thrilling majesty and cogency about them, while Nos. 3, 5 and 7 all satisfyingly combine doughty purpose with keen observation. The Sixth is, perhaps, marginally less convincing. As for No. 4, Ehrling doesn't stint one bit on the unnerving bleakness of Sibelius's introspective vision, yet at the same time he locates a vulnerability and humanity in this astonishing masterpiece that are profoundly touching. Apparently, the original Metronome mastertapes were in such an unhealthy condition that the Finlandia transfer engineers had to work from archive vinyl pressings instead. Generally speaking, they've done a commendable job, and for experienced Sibelians everywhere this bold mid-price reissue will surely come as something of an ear-opener.--Andrew AchenbachEND	£ 16.99	59 reviews	Postage & Packaging: Check Site.

Musical power and mystery Review of Sibelius: Symphony No 5 and 6 by MAFARRIMOND Advantages: Heroic fifth. Mysrterious sixth. Disadvantages: None ...Jean Sibelius is striking for his originality and his innovative use of tonal colour in his orchestral compositions. The conductor of this recording of Symphonies Nos 5 & 6, Sir Colin Davies once said, “Nothing else sounds like Sibelius”. The music is indeed unique and distinctive. Jean Christian Sibelius, Finland's greatest composer, was born in 1865 and is best known for his seven symphonies that he wrote between 1899 and 1924. Sibelius felt that music should be pure music and that every note within the music given importance. Sibelius once commented that, “A symphony should be music first and last." His Symphonies, number 5 and 6, recorded on this CD are just that. The two symphonies contrast and compliment each other to produce a magnificence. The fifth is heroic, strong and vivid whilst the sixth is mysterious and radiant yet... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average helpful		helpful 07.08.2004
Beethoven's symphonies: the rediscovered frontier Review of Beethoven Symphonies 1-9 - London Classical Players - Sir Roger Norrington by berlioz Advantages: A new way to hear Beethoven Disadvantages: Surpassed by some later period cycles ...INTRODUCTION Beethoven's nine symphonies cover one of the major cornerstones of symphonic literature along with the likes of Haydn, Brahms and Sibelius. Beethoven was born in turbulent times when the common people's dissatisfaction toward the ruling monarchs in Europe was reaching new heights which finally culminated in the French Revolution in 1789. Against this came Beethoven, who was born into a family of musicians in Bonn in 1770. His father wanted to coin in on the child prodigy market created by Mozart whose father had exploited his genius in a similar way. But Beethoven was no Mozart. He wasn't born a child progidy and his performing skills were nowhere near as natural as they were with Mozart. Still he made rapid progress as a piano virtuoso and an amateur composer. He was even supposed to take some lessons with Mozart in Wien... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful		very helpful 16.04.2005
A Powerful Warning Against the Powerful Review of Shostakovich: Symphony No 11, 'The Year 1905' by Floon Advantages: A powerful experience to make you think Disadvantages: Too much thinking makes the brain ache ...of that first performance. * * The Symphonies * * Critics have divided Shostakovich’s fifteen symphonies into two main groups. There are the Masterpieces; and there are the Others. The Masterpieces are the first, fifth, eighth, tenth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth. In other words, he had more misses than hits. So say (or said until recently) the critics. However, one should consider the words of another great twentieth century composer, Sibelius: “Never fear the critics. Remember, no-one ever raised a statue to the memory of a critic.” Well said, Sibelius! For while it cannot be denied that some of these symphonies are stronger than others, they all tell of their composer’s inner feelings and chart the history of Soviet Russia. * * The Eleventh * * The Eleventh Symphony is one work in which many “coded” messages...
