During this 150th anniversary year of Jean Sibelius, his music is being performed and discussed more widely than ever. As might be expected, the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, noted for its numerous and often revelatory Sibelius recordings, is planning its own homage: all seven symphonies will be performed at the 2015 edition of the orchestra's annual Sibelius Festival. With principal conductor Okko Kamu the Lahti SO has also prepared a special birthday present for their great compatriot. Recorded between 2012 and 2014 this new anniversary cycle is released as a boxed set of three SACDs with a surround sound option, and is accompanied by an ample booklet with informative notes by Andrew Barnett, author of a Sibelius biography. Needless to say, Kamu has conducted these works numerous times since then, in Finland and abroad, but has never before put his name to a complete cycle on disc.
Okku Kamu's complete set of the 7 symphonies of Jean Sibelius on BIS presents an exceptionally clear and coherent survey of these works, which his few early recordings do not permit. Kamu's performances with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra reveal a consistent vision and a thorough understanding of Sibelius' symphonic development, while his older recordings of the Symphony No. 2 in D major with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Symphony No. 7 in C major with the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra give only glimpses. In these super audio recordings, made between 2012 and 2014, Kamu's crisp and unsentimental interpretations have a directness that sometimes seems hard and raw, instead of the lush and overripe qualities that one finds in more romantic readings. Even the Symphony No. 2, that sentimental warhorse, has shed its customary richness and comes across here as more rugged and quirky. Yet the most striking examples of Kamu's dry-eyed approach are found in the grim Symphony No. 4 in A minor, the epic Symphony No. 5 in E flat major, and the refined, neo-Classical Symphony No. 6 in D minor, which offer a clarity and objectivity that highlight the music's distinctive characteristics, and reveal Sibelius' underlying organic concepts.
