Paavo Berglund, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra - Jean Sibelius: Symphonies 1-4 (2005)

Posted By: ArlegZ

Date: Aug. 11, 2024

Paavo Berglund (1929-2012) recorded the complete symphonies of his great compatriot Sibelius no fewer than three times. This set, central in every respect, was made in the 1980s with the Helsinki Philharmonic. Berglund, a former music director of the Helsinki Philharmonic, was renowned internationally as a master interpreter of Sibelius’s extraordinary music. In Gramophone’s words, he conducted it “with an unhurried, controlled inevitability that allows the music to unfold in its own time without any loss of tension or excitement”.
"Very strong accounts from Berglund's second cycle, especially the vigorous First and gigantic Fourth…" — BBC Music Magazine
