Finlandia, Valse Triste & The Swan of Tuonela

Jean Sibelius

Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Herbert von Karajan / Berlin Philharmonic

1984 Excellent digital sound. Coupled with Grieg's Peer Gynt.

Top recommendation. Finlandia opens dramatically with a beautifully played tune. Passionate and soulful. The strings play beautifully in Valse Triste and especially The Swan of Tuonela. Gorgeous.
