Janine Jansen releases her first concerto album in nine years, pairing the iconic Violin Concertos of Sibelius & Prokofiev. Janine is joined by Klaus Mäkelä and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra for this album, forming the ultimate classical dream team. “The highlight of the program was the Sibelius Violin Concerto, in the hands of the Dutch Janine Jansen… Jansen and Mäkelä recorded this concert together last summer… and it promises to be a true reference, based on what was heard in Oslo.” - Platea

Stimmungsvoll: Vermutlich war kein anderer Dirigent ein besserer Anwalt für die Werke von Jean Sibelius als Herbert von Karajan. Mit den sieben Sinfonien und Kompositionen wie Finlandia, der Karelia-Suite und Valse Triste war und ist Jean Sibelius der angesehenste und bekannteste finnische Komponist aller Zeiten.

An early classic for Decca/RCA engineered by none other than Kenneth Wilkinson, who became so closely identified with the Decca sound that he retired when PolyGram acquired the company in 1980.

“Die Musik von Sibelius lässt sich nicht vergleichen oder in eine Schublade stecken. Sie ist wie ein Meteorit, der vom Himmel fiel.”

The Chief Conductor of Oslo Philharmonic and Music Director of Orchestre de Paris, Klaus Mäkelä announces his debut album; the complete Sibelius symphonies plus the fragments of the unfinished 8th and his last symphonic poem Tapiola.

During the period of lockdown in 2020, tenor Alessandro Fisher and his wife spent many hours in their garden. A heightened awareness of the beauty of nature, the flowers in their garden and the changes to the garden as winter moved to spring, and then to summer formed the basis of this beautifully curated recital.

This is the third album in a new series of recordings dedicated to the symphonies of Jean Sibelius on the ATMA label. Conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin leads the Metropolitan Orchestra of Montreal in Sibelius’s Symphony No. 3. The Symphony No. 3 in C major, Op. 52, by Jean Sibelius is a symphony in three movements composed in 1907. Coming between the romantic intensity of Sibelius's first two symphonies and the more austere complexity of his later symphonies, it is a good-natured, triumphal, and deceptively simple-sounding piece.

The Sibelius Violin Concerto was a David Oistrakh specialty.
