	Digital Booklet

"They are big-boned, muscular accounts, magnificently played in all departments... the brooding Fourth best suits the Berliners’ dark sound; and the Third is surprisingly lithe and sprightly." - The Sunday Times Simon Rattle is one of the most distinguished Sibelius conductors of our time. Consequently, his recording of all the composer’s seven symphonies, which he performed with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2015, attracted all the more attention. Rattle's interpretation is “the profound and balanced result, reflected in every detail, of a long-standing exploration of these masterpieces,” as the Neue Zürcher Zeitung wrote, while the Washington Post recognised “an intensity of character ... that no other orchestra can match”.
