Hannu Lintu conducts Sibelius's Tapiola, En Saga and Eight Songs
The word ‘sacred’ can also mean ‘set apart’, which may explain the strange fate of Sibelius’s Tapiola. Routinely it’s listed among the composer’s supreme achievements, yet it’s hardly ever heard in concert. When it appears on record it’s usually as a coupling, and even then conductors seem disinclined to take any risks with it. It’s marvellous then to find a conductor taking a genuinely fresh approach. Hannu Lintu’s Tapiola isn’t the grey, remote expanse so many make of it.
Lars Vogt, Christian Tetzlaff and Tanja Tetzlaff perform Beethoven's Triple Concerto and Piano Concerto No. 3
This disc belongs to the mercurial Lars Vogt, both soloist and director in Beethoven’s festive Triple Concerto and Third Piano Concerto. The recordings are based on live performances and have a slightly rough and ready feel, with a less than ideal piano sound.
