Gurzenich Koln/Kitajenko - Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 2, Edvard Grieg: Symphonic Dances, Two Elegiac Melodies

The influential critic Karl Flodin commented after the premi�re of Sibelius� Second Symphony, 'A symphonic poem the like of Sibelius� Second Symphony has never been heard before, it�s something rarely heard in the genre of modern symphony. The more you listen to this brilliant work, the more powerful its contours seem, the deeper its soul appears and the more striking become the clues which hint at an understanding of this composition'. Oehms Classics has found the perfect partners for this recording in Dmitrij Kitajenko and the G�rzenich Orchestra Cologne, whom have paired it delightfully with two short pieces by Edvard Grieg.
