Part: Cantique / Symphony No 3 / Stabat Mater

"Järvi's Berlin choral and orchestral forces meet this nerve-stretching challenge superbly, achieving a vivid focus that ideally suits the music's sense of visionary concentration...And under Järvi's incisive direction, the three-movement Third Symphony comes across as [a] work of real power and drama." Classic FM

"Järvi has a sure feel for the music's disconcerting contrasts, of almost academic bicinia and heart-on-sleeve pseudo-Tchaikovsky...the orchestral sound is luscious and no subtlety missed: an important disc for any admirer of the composer." Gramophone
