Sibelius: Complete Symphonies
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Mäkelä
[ Decca / 4 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 25 March 2022
The debut album by Klaus Mäkelä, the Chief Conductor of Oslo Philharmonic and Music Director of Orchestre de Paris is the complete Sibelius symphonies plus the fragments of the unfinished 8th and his last symphonic poem Tapiola. The orchestra has been performing the music of Jean Sibelius for over 100 years, with the composer himself conducting three concerts of his music in 1921.
"Sibelius' music is in Mäkelä's DNA and it was exciting to watch him bring a fresh perspective to the work." - Bachtrack
BBC MUSIC AWARD NOMINATION 2023 - Orchestral
"Most Finnish greats have recorded cycles of Sibelius symphonies at least once...Who'd have predicted that this latest, from Klaus Mäkelä at the helm of the Oslo Philharmonic would be the most electrifying and of ten revelatory of them all?" BBC Music Recording of the Month May 2022
"Mäkelä's cycle is all of a piece, accomplished, insightful and full of the beauty and intrigue that make these works so perennially exciting. An uber-auspicious debut." Gramophone Editor's Choice April 2022
