Five Nordic Masters
Catalog Number: BIS1496-98
A sweeping portrait of Nordic symphonic thought, where elemental force, lyrical introspection and national colour meet in performances shaped by long artistic partnership and instinctive orchestral understanding.
Five Nordic Masters
This collection traces a rich arc through Nordic symphonic writing, from Svendsen’s poised romanticism to Tubin’s darkly concentrated modern voice. Throughout, the music speaks with a distinctive clarity of purpose: Nielsen’s Fourth Symphony surges with elemental жизненforce, while the Sixth turns inward, playful yet questioning in its search for simplicity. Sibelius shapes vast emotional landscapes from tightly wrought motifs, balancing brooding intensity with radiant affirmation. Stenhammar’s Serenade glows with southern warmth filtered through Nordic dreaminess, its textures finely interwoven, while his concerto and cantata reveal a composer of structural integrity and lyrical depth. Tubin’s late symphonies distil experience into concentrated, elegiac forms, their shadows offset by rhythmic vitality drawn from folk roots. Under Neeme Järvi’s direction, the orchestra combines sweep and precision, bringing both spontaneity and long-breathed architectural vision to this compelling survey of Nordic masters.
