Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 6 & 7, The Tempest concludes the complete Sibelius symphonies performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

This series has already won numerous awards around the world and reaches its climax here with two of Sibelius’ greatest symphonies. Andrew Mellor writes in his introductory text that “we hear music carried by forms of gravitational energy reminiscent of those that govern the course of a river”.

Rouvali has also chosen to record eight extracts from Sibelius’ incidental music for Shakespeare’s The Tempest. First performed in March 1926, it is one of Sibelius’s final orchestral works and is certainly his most fascinating composition for the theatre.
