""ESo klingt Sibelius", wenn das Symphonieorchester von Lahti unter Osmo Vänskä sich wieder einmal auf jenes musikalische und aufnahmetechnische Niveau emporhebt, über das ich schon so oft in entsprechenden Tönen berichten durfte. Daß einige der Programmpunkte bereits in der kolossalen Sibelius-Gesamtausgabe enthalten sind und für die vorliegende SACD lediglich neu gemischt wurden, fällt dabei nicht ins Gewich".

"This shrewdly assembled programme consists of three works which originated in the period 1893 to 1806. All three were subject to various revisions over time ... I enjoyed the performance. I think Susanna Mälkki makes a very fine job of all four pieces ... The excellence of the recorded sound is a significant factor. All three works are expertly recorded ... [and] these fine performances should be heard by all Sibelius admirers".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "Virtually all of them have a great deal to recommend them and belong to the very best of Sibelius interpretation. It is a novel bonus to have a sample of Sibelius's own conducting, ... special production with the photo album and some very fine performances".

"Mälkki and the orchestra remarkably conjure the dark, swirling soundworld of 'Lemminkäinen in Tuonela' (the Hades of Finnish legend). And the concluding 'Lemminkäinen's Return' canters along in roistering style".

"Superlative performances by the finest Sibelius conductor around - exciting, searching, reflective, and excellently played. We also hear Sibelius conducting his Andante festive in 1939".

"BIS's third recording of the four tone poems [by] Sibelius ... is another winner ... Susanna Mälkki and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra produce wellcrafted, beautifully detailed accounts on a par with rival versions - including the Helsinki orchestra's own with Segerstam (with warm Ondine sound) from the mid-1990s ... BIS's sound is top-notch, as one expects, making this newcomer highly recommendable".
