| Performance Notes | Theres no denying the potent rhythmic urgency of Beethovens Seventh Symphony. Its giddying, propulsive movement finds contrast in the mysterious stillness of Sibeliuss Tapiola, inspired by the spirit of Finlands dusky forests, its wood-sprites and magic secrets. Jón Leifss Organ Concerto harnesses the full power and scope of the Royal Albert Halls organ in its massive musical gestures, while Anders Hillborgs Beast Sampler promises to strip away all we know of the symphony orchestra, transforming it into a sound animal.
