About this product
Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé present the completion of their Sibelius Symphonies Cycle with inspiring performances of two of his most personal and characteristic works, both regarded as indispensable to an understanding of the composer. Sibelius began his Symphony No.4 at a time of personal crisis and the resulting work, noted for it's depth of expression and intellectual originality, contains some of the darkest and most unsettling music he ever wrote. It is a piece of marked originality and striking imaginative power, captured to great effect in this recording. In contrast, the elusive Symphony No.6, has been described as being full of music that Inchseems to be almost constantly singingInch. The orchestration is particularly haunting; throughout, the string section in particular captivates the listener, in one of the most beautiful and original pieces of music Sibelius wrote.

The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder follow their recent highly acclaimed Debussy Nocturnes album, with a stunning orchestral collection including a world premiere recording. Debussy took seven years to produce Images, following the success of La mer, and the resulting work, which was hailed by Ravel, displays the composer's mastery in varied material which is at times strident, eschewing any hint of 'Impressionism' (a term he disliked), rich and evoking feelings of loss and alienation. Pierre Boulez claimed that Inchmodern music was awokenInch by Debussy's response to Mallarmé's poem L'après-midid'un faune and the work, with it's sumptuous opening flute line, certainly established the composer's credentials and has rightly become a cornerstone of orchestral repertoire. The album features a world premiere recording of Colin Matthew's orchestration of Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut, from the 2nd Book of Images for piano. This arrangement follows Matthews' universally acclaimed orchestrations of the Debussy Préludes and of Les soirs illuminés par l'ardeur du charbon featured in the recent Nocturnes .
