## Press

These are essential, revelatory interpretations that no Sibelian worth his stripes can afford to miss.

David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com, May 2005, Disc of the Month

A highly remarkable completion of the Sibelius Symphonies' Cycle. Primarily the dramatic and deep passion takes effect in this incomparable interpretation. (...) You never hear such a differentiated sound. (...) You have never heard this work (Finlandia) performed rhythmically so sparkling and so accurate.
