"Die Interpretation ist so mitreissend wie die Kompositionen selbst. Mariss Jansons versteht es aus jeder Stimme seines Orchesters das Beste herauszuholen ... Eine gelassene, inspirierende Souveränität ... und ohne Abstriche zu empfehlen"

Vurdering: 4/5

"Huge weight of tone, burnished splendour to match, a mighty technical standard - all the hallmarks of the German orchestral scene at its most powerful are on parade here. Perhaps surprisingly, this approach works best in the smaller Sibelius works ... Mariss Jansons ... gives the music's darkly smouldering rherotic full and sonorous value Finlandia ... The performance of the Symphony has fine qualities also ... but from a conductor and orchestra in this stellar class, it's reasonable to expect a more convincing solution"

"Virtuoso conducting and immaculate orchestral playing"
