The influential critic Karl Flodin commented after the premiere of Sibelius' Second Symphony: "A symphonic poem the like of Sibelius' Second Symphony has never been heard before, it's something rarely heard in the genre of modern symphony. The more you listen to this brilliant work, the more powerful it's contours seem, the deeper it's soul appears and the more striking become the clues which hint at an understanding of this composition." OehmsClassics has found the perfect partners for this recording with Dmitrij Kitajenko and the Gurzenich Orchestra Cologne and has complimented Sebelius' Second Symphony with two delightful short pieces by Edvard Grieg. The Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne is one of Germany's leading orchestras and can look back on a great tradition. Since 1986 the ensemble's home has been at the Kölner Philharmonie, where it presents about 50 concerts annually, simultaneously giving over 160 performances a year at the Cologne Opera.
