Pietari Inkinen- Jean Sibelius: Symphonnies Nos. 1 and 3 (SECOND-HAND CD)

This Naxos release of Jean Sibelius’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 is part of a critically acclaimed Sibelius symphony cycle recorded in Wellington between 2009 and 2010 by Pietari Inkinen and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The recording compellingly combines the Finnish conductor's vision with the fresh sound of the New Zealand orchestra, earning praise in the international press upon its release for its airy approach and balanced handling of the works' lyrical and dramatic elements. With a total running time of approximately 72 minutes, the album offers listeners a fine contrast between Sibelius’s dramatic, youthful first symphony and his significantly more classical, minimalist third symphony.
