Sibelius:

Orchestral Songs
Soile Isokoski (soprano), Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, cond Leif
Segerstam
amazon.co.uk
"Sibelius's songs are still under-exposed, their settings in Finnish
and Swedish perhaps creating a language barrier, but the programme
here, ranging through some of the best of them, shows that emotion can
transcend language. They are sung by Isokoski with a potent mix of
tenderness and passion, a richness of voice and subtle dynamic
inflections, with soaring lines beautifully floated and
tailored."--Geoffrey Norris,

Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs;
Orchestral Songs
amazon.co.uk
amazon.com
"If you like
Strauss, you must hear this. And if you know one of those music-lovers
who think no-one's done anything worth hearing in the
Four Last Songs
since Schwartzkopf [sic] and Szell in '66, make them listen to
Isokoski. It could be the best thing that happens to them all
year."--Andrew McGregor for
bbc.co.uk.
The Ondine recording of soprano Soile Isokoski singing Richard
Strauss's Orchestral Songs, including the
Vier letze Lieder,
was voted Classical Album of the Year for 2002 by the users of the
BBC's website, reports Helsingin Sanomat. |
