5.0 out of 5 stars This series maintains its high level, 5 April 2003
I've lost track of how many discs there are now in the Sakari/Iceland/Naxos Sibelius series. They've done all the symphonies - now available in a terrific boxed set - and at least one other orchestral set that includes the popular Finlandia. This one includes some of the other orchestral music, tone poems including Pohjola's Daughter, The Oceanides, Tapiola, En Saga, and the rarely heard The Bard.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this set comes from a country that we don't associate with great music-making: this Iceland Symphony Orchestra is on a par with at least the second-tier orchestras of Europe and America. And its conductor, a Finn, has a gut-level feel for Sibelius's moody and dramatic music. I particularly liked Tapiola, Sibelius's last tone poem, with its striking intoduction with divided violas and low bassoon chords and later on the extensive use of wind solos against divided strings.

For the price, this disc simply can't be bested.

5.0 out of 5 stars HEARTILY RECOMMENDED!!!!, 20 Sep 2009
By Adam Jackson "Symphonic Metal Fan" (Stoke On Trent , England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Totally agree with the other reviewer - this is top quality music!
Excellent compositions to begin with and all the benefits of a top class performance and recording to bring it to life.

Highlights for me are the mystical Tapiola and the piece that moves me the most; En Saga.
En Saga has the most brilliant melodic theme at it's core and sounds both wild and heroic. It's nothing at all like The Rite Of Spring but somehow I am reminded of Stravinsky's epic in the way that it shares the same almost cinematic sense of splendour & danger.

Let's not forget other great tracks like the Oceanides - perfect for if you fancy donning your sea legs!!

Just all brilliant, evocative, atmospheric music that captures a range of moods. Romantic but modern, rich in melody & wonders.
It almost feels like the soundtrack to an unmade fantasy epic - it's a great place to start if you are looking to get into the Classical world as it is highly accessible and these works should be on all CM devotees shelves...
