Description:

Here comes the stunning Sibelius by Kitaenko, who was awarded the title of Honorary Conductor by the Cologne Gürzenich Orchestra. Kitayenko's numerous recordings of Russian works, including complete symphonies by Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff, have all received great acclaim, but he has not recorded much Scandinavian music, only some performances of Grieg, Gose, Gweidolina, and others. There are only a few recordings of Grieg, Göse, Gweidolina, etc., and very few recordings of Sibelius. However, the grandeur of the "No. 2" is a work that allows Kitayenko to make full use of the profound sound he spins. The dramatic development from the first to the last movement is performed in a single movement, just like Kitaenko. The Grieg piece recorded at the same time is also an expressive performance, strongly expressing the nostalgia of Grieg's works.
