In 2017 they performed Symphonies 2 \u0026amp; 7 at the BBC Proms receiving widespread acclaim, with critics describing the performances as 'radiant', 'masterful' and 'quite, quite beautiful'. Prior to this first recording Søndergård made his excitement clear: 'I can't wait to discover Sibelius all over again with my new orchestra'. With their nationalist themes Symphonies 2 \u0026amp; 7 were perfect repertoire for Søndergård and his orchestra to make their symphonic recording debut. Symphony No. 2 marked a major step in Sibelius' development as a composer, and remains one of his most popular works. Symphony No. 7 is notable for being a one-movement symphony and is completely original in form, subtle in it's handling of tempi, individual in it's treatment of key and is considered Sibelius' most remarkable compositional achievement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sibelius \/ BBC National Orchestra of Wales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39273944711239,"sku":"36250288","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3795639.jpg?v=1747795178","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/sibelius-bbc-national-orchestra-of-wales-symphonies-2-7","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
