Composer:
Jean Sibelius

Artist(s):
Boris Belkin
Elisabeth Soderstrom

Conductor:
Vladimir Ashkenazy

Background: Ashkenazy has been closely identified with the music of Sibelius for over twenty years. One of his first outstanding achievements as a conductor was his cycle of symphonies and tone poems. These acclaimed recordings were made during the 1980s.

Shortly before embarking on the symphonies, Ashkenazy conducted fellow-Russian Boris Belkin in the Violin Concerto and four miniatures for violin and orchestra in recordings made during 1978–79. This disc of violin works and the hauntingly beautiful, yet rarely heard, Luonnotar has also been added. Two short orchestral pieces conclude this disc, the popular Valse triste and the Romance for strings, in recordings made with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
