Internationally, Lahti Symphony Orchestra is closely associated with the numerous Sibelius recordings released on BIS, conducted by their long-time chief conductor Osmo Vänskä. These recordings have received an overwhelming international welcome among reviewers, but also among record-buyers: as of August 2009 more than one million Lahti discs released by BIS have been sold! As many already know, the orchestra does not only play works by Sibelius – its recordings of music by contemporary Finnish composers such as Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Joonas Kokkonen have all met with critical acclaim. Led by Jukka-Pekka Saraste, its present chief conductor, the orchestra now takes a step eastwards, and performs two symphonies by the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov. Having as a student absorbed the music of Webern, Scriabin and the new Polish school, in the 1970s Silvestrov moved away from avant-garde techniques and became increasingly involved with the idiom of 19th-century song: ‘It seems to me that music is song in spite of everything, even when it is unable to sing in a literal sense. Not a philosophy, not a system of beliefs, but the song of the world about itself, and at the same time a musical testament to existence.’ To date, Silvestrov has composed seven symphonies, of which the Fourth (1976) and the Fifth (1980–82) are both dominated by a longing for a beauty that used to be, but is no longer within reach. Considered by some to be his masterpiece, Symphony No. 5 has for instance been described as ‘an epilogue or coda inspired by the music of late Romantic composers such as Gustav Mahler.’

To many, the Lahti Symphony Orchestra has become synonymous with excellence in Sibelius repertoire. Its numerous recordings with the previous chief conductor Osmo Vänskä have received countless distinctions and awards, and the orchestra is universally regarded as having a very special affinity for the music of their great compatriot. On the present disc it is Okko Kamu, Vänskä's successor as chief conductor, who wields the baton. Kamu has been a presence on the international scene ever since the early 1970s, when he made a highly-acclaimed set of Sibelius symphonies in partnership with Herbert von Karajan. Here three other works by Sibelius make up the programme, which opens with music for Shakespeare's play The Tempest, for which the composer in 1925 wrote the most ambitious of his several theatre scores. For concert use he later selected the Overture and two Suites recorded here. In 1926, a year after The Tempest, Sibelius again turned to the realm of magic in his masterful evocation of the forest, the symphonic poem Tapiola. The title can be translated as ‘the domain of Tapio’, god of the forest in Finnish mythology, and according to Walter Damrosch, who conducted the first performance, the audience was ‘enthralled by the dark pine forests and the shadowy gods and wood-nymphs who dwell therein’. From the start the work has been regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces from Sibelius’ pen. These two large-scale works are here separated by the seven-minute long symphonic poem The Bard from 1913, a work which in its treatment of the thematic material and the chamber-music-like quality of its scoring invites comparison with the Fourth Symphony of two year’s earlier.

Winylowa 180-gramowa, zremasterowana (Original Recordings Remastered) edycja albumu "Die Moldau/Preludes (Smetana/Liszt)". Berlińskimi orkietrami dyryguje Ferenc Fricsay. Winyl został zarejestrowany w nowoczesnej technologii DMM (Direct Metal Mastering). Opis Technologii Dmm: Direct Metal Mastering dosłownie oznacza "bezpośrednie nacinanie wzorca (np płyty gramofonowej) w stemplu tłoczącym. Direct Metal Mastering to technika opracowana wspólnie przez TelDec (Telefinken-Decca) i Neumanna pod koniec XX wieku, pod koniec lat 80., majaca poprawic jakosc tloczenia plyt winylowych. Inaczej niz przy konwencjonalnym nacinaniu, gdzie sygnal z tasmy-matki wytłączany jest na pokrytym aluminium dysku, będącym elementem pośrednim w procesie tłoczenia, DMM pozwalala nacinac bezposrednio plyte z metalu (miedzi), eliminujac w ten sposób posrednie stadia - zamiast „trzech kroków" („mother", „father" i „stamper") miedziany dysk DMM sluzy od razu jako „matka". Główną zaletą DMM jest redukcja "hałasu" tła i szumu przesuwu. Dzięki wyeliminowaniu wspomnianych pośrednich etapów pośrednich podczas tłoczenia płyt gramofonowych następuje redukcja dodatkowych zniekształceń a muzyka zwykle brzmi żywo i przestrzennie. Tracklista : Side A: 1. Die Moldau (Berlin, 1960) (Smetana Bedrich) - Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Ferenc Fricsay - Conductor) Side B: 1. Les Preludes (Symphonic Poem No. 3; Berlin, 1959) (Liszt Franz) - Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin (Ferenc Fricsay - Conductor)

Strauss’s ‘Fantastic variations on a theme of knightly character’, as Don Quixote is subtitled, is one of the composer’s most popular tone poems, principally because of the beautifully drawn central characters of the Don (performed by a solo cellist) and Sancho Panza (viola). These roles are luxuriously cast in this new recording, being taken by Hyperion artists Alban Gerhardt and Lawrence Power. The merry tale of Till Eulenspiegel completes this release.The Gürzenich-Orchester Köln, the very orchestra which gave the premieres of both works in the 1890s, is conducted by Markus Stenz, who has held the position of Principal Conductor since 2003. He visited China with the orchestra in early 2008 and conducted their first ever BBC Prom at the Royal Albert Hall in August 2008. In September 2010 he returned to China with the Gürzenich Orchestra and the Opera of Cologne to conduct the first ever production of Wagner’s ‘Ring’ in Shanghai. Among other posts he is Chief Guest Conductor of the Hallé.
