Sibelius: Violin Concerto - Lemminkäinen Suite
Ava Bahari, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali

Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 & King Christian II Suite
RecommendedGothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali

Sibelius: Symphony No. 4, The Wood Nymph & Valse Triste
Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali
It's a strong Fourth, worthy of comparison with the best, but the performance of The Wood Nymph is simply the best to appear so far. Symphonic drive and story-telling are balanced magnificently... —
