Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Aulis Sallinen's "Symphony No. 6 / Cello Concerto, Op. 44," a masterful blend of orchestral and solo cello performances that showcases the Finnish composer's distinctive voice. Released on May 19, 2010, by CPO, this album is a testament to Sallinen's ability to craft intricate, evocative compositions that resonate with depth and emotion.

The album begins with Symphony No. 6, Op. 65, subtitled "from a New Zealand Diary," a four-movement work inspired by the composer's experiences in New Zealand. Each movement paints a vivid sonic landscape, from the serene "The Islands of the Sounds" to the dynamic "Finale," which quotes the poet Allen Curnow. The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ari Rasilainen, brings these landscapes to life with precision and passion.

The second half of the album features the Cello Concerto, Op. 44, performed by the virtuoso Jan-Erik Gustafsson. This two-movement concerto is a showcase for the cello, with its lyrical melodies and technical demands. Gustafsson's performance is nothing short of breathtaking, accompanied by the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra under Rasilainen's direction.

With a total runtime of 1 hour and 5 minutes, this album is a substantial and rewarding listen, offering a rich exploration of Sallinen's musical language. Whether you're a longtime fan of classical music or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
