专辑简介
This is the world premiere recording of Vasks' second symphony. It is a 40-minute, one-movement work which opens with a glorious bang, with the orchestra at its most powerful and busy. A few minutes in, Vasks offers us repose which is almost religious, there is a buildup and then more reflection, and a long crescendo to great might again. The work ends on a beautifully introspective, soft, haunting refrain. Vasks is primarily a Romantic, so the work is tonal; there are touches of Kancheli (but not as much breast-beating), Shostakovich (again, not as pessimistic). It's a beautiful, very satisfying work, and the scoring is fascinating in its use of bells, xylophone, and many woodwinds. The violin concerto is somewhat more thorny in its harmonic approachability, but it also has a faraway aura and texture to it at times which is both melancholy and mellow. Its cadenzas are real virtuoso moments, and John Storg?rds plays it all beautifully (Juha Kangas conducts this work). The performances of both orchestras are sublime and the sound is big, clean and vibrant. The combination of familiarity and daring here is most worthwhile. --Robert Levine
