This double CD from EMI features the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra conducted by their Finnish principal conductor at the time (1970s), Paavo Berglund. It doesn't have to be that a conductor originates from the same country as the composer whose works he or she is conducting, but it often happens that this combination seems to produce performances of greatest sensitivity. So it is here, as Berglund conducts 10 works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The discs include quite familiar works like En Saga, one of Sibelius' first compositions when he was in his late 20s. We also have Pohjola's Daughter, The Bard and two of the four Lemminkäinen Legends, and a beautiful version of Luonnotar sung by the Finnish soprano Taru Valjakka.

The rest of the discs is made up of less frequently heard pieces. We have the five-movement suite from the incidental music Sibelius wrote for Adolf Paul's play King Christian II (1898); the Spring Song (Vårsång) of 1894; the suite of incidental music from Maeterlinck's Pelleas and Melisande. From the incidental music to Kuolema (Death) we have the well-known `Valse triste' but we also have the lovely `Scene with cranes'. To end there are four pieces of the incidental music from August Strindberg's play `Swanwhite'. Overall this is a good value introduction to a range of Sibelius' compositions and provides the opportunity to hear works that are rarely recorded.

Review by Dr. H. A. Jones

…These are cool, emotionally reserved performances, not as hyper-detailed as Berglund's most recent go-round with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, but also never lacking in tension or character… The performances of the incidental music and tone poems all sound splendid. Indeed,…Pohjola's Daughter, and Luonnotar never have been done better…

Review by David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com [2/2/2002, reviewing EMI 74485]

Berglund… and his [musicians] maintain a high standard of execution throughout. The performances are idiomatic, energetic, sincere, and poetic. One feels the dedication of everyone involved in the impact each piece makes.

Soprano Tara Varjakká deserves special praise for her outstanding performance of the fiendishly difficult Luonnotar.
