Description
The Sibelius Edition was launched in September 2007 and exactly four years later, in September 2011, the final Edition is here released. Volume 13 of the Sibelius Edition focusses on the Masonic Ritual Music for tenor and organ and the complete music for solo organ, but also includes orchestral fragments and a recording of the bells from Helsinki's Kallio Church, for which Sibelius composed the melody in 1912. The Edition also features Sibelius himself conducting the Finnish radio Orchestra in a performance of his in his own Andante festivo, recorded in 1939. As a special feature, one of the discs also include a video file with the classic 'Jean Sibelius at Home' film, made in 1927 and 1945 by Aho & Soldan. This Edition is completed with a bonus DVD of 'Visual Journey to the Music of Jean Sibelius': Music by Sibelius accompanying sceneries from the Finnish archipelago. With this final instalment a separate booklet with the complete index of the recordings and works included in the entire edition is provided, as a key to the 80+ hours of music that form the lifework of Sibelius.No one has done more for the cause of Sibelius over the past decade or more than the Swedish label BIS...The Guardian
