5.0 out of 5 stars Karajan superb in a piece that deserves to be better known, 14 Aug 2003
By Gerard Lynch "paddingtonw2bear" (Belfast, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The centrepiece of this CD is Sibelius' Pelleas and Mellisande, written as incidental music for a Finnish theatre production. UK readers will recognise the first movement as the theme from 'The Sky at Night'.

Karajan did much to promote Sibelius, and this is a fantastic rendition of his most neglected masterpiece, full of ravishing broody chords in the string section and haunting brass.

Finlandia, on the other hand is one of his best known pieces, and this is a rendition with lots of of energy and flowing forward movement.

The CD is topped and tailed with Smetana's Vltava and Liszt's Preludes, which fit well. The Preludes is a particularly lovely recording.

All and all this is a lovely collection from Karajan and the Berlin Phil in stunning form. If you like Sibelius's symponies and shorter tone poems you'll enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars sky at night, 14 Nov 2008
I am not an afficianado of classical music; I got this for the amazing 'Sky at Night' theme tune. Listening to it all in bed was very relaxing.
