5.0 out of 5 stars Best buy of the last 12 months, 17 Feb 2008
By CSB (Scotland) - See all my reviews
The Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra is one of Finland's finest, and they do Vasks' third symphony and Cello Concerto proud. This follows on from their award winning and equally excellent recording of Vasks' second symphony and violin concerto 'Distant Light'.

Vasks work stands well alongside his Northern European contemporaries: Part, Rautavaara and Tuur. Less well known than Part, his work is perhaps more accessible and incorporates traditional elements from his native Latvia, and though it is by no means 'easy' listening it never gets tangled in a modernist knot. The third symphony repeats the emotional depth of the second symphony, though is perhaps gentler. Vasks makes full use of a large orchestra and those familiar with the second symphony will recognise the similarities.

The Cello concerto builds gently and slowly through five movements to a tremendous, soaring finale in the Cantus II, before rising softly and fading. Too challenging for a Classic FM listener but the form is still very classical, Vasks' composing is measured and he never allows the medium dominate his message. Marko Ylonen's playing is precise and is balanced well by conductor John Storgards, with the excellent Tampere PO showing why Finland punches above its weight in the classical music world.

Worth the money for the Cello concerto alone. I can see this being well played over the coming months.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great music but poor sound quality, 29 Dec 2008
By Jeremy M. Jacobs "Jerry J" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I couldn't wait to get this - Vasks has long been one of my favourite modern composers. And, oh dear, what a disappointment. Yes, the music is very fine and is (probably) ably performed. But the sound quality is murky and ill-defined. I can't really hear what is going on at all. It's the same on both the CD and SACD layers. What a shame! How can they screw up this badly?

3.0 out of 5 stars Love "Distant light", don't like this, 27 Dec 2008
By J. Severidt "jornfin" (Rovaniemi, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Is this ever heavy stuff. Heavy-hearted, heavily orchestrated, heavily performed. I don't want to spoil it for others, I am no musicologist and this is a purely personal comment. I love the violin concert "Distant light", which comes second only to Gorecki's third symphony on my list of favorite modern orchestral works. I can listen to the Vasks' second symphony if I have to. But the works on offer here are not for me.
So, a word of warning: If "Distant light" has led you to Vasks, do not expect more of the same form this CD. Give it a close listen before you buy - and don't do it standing on a bridge...
