Product Description

JEAN SIBELIUS (1865-1957)
Scènes historiques I and II
King Christian II Suite Op. 27

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Pietari Inkinen, conductor

Recording: 08/2006

Sibelius’s first set of Scènes historiques forms a suite taken from music for a patriotic pageant, staged in 1899 at a time of increasing Finnish nationalism and originally including Finlandia, which was published separately. For his Scènes Historiques II Sibelius composed new music. In the opening The Chase, horns are heard through the mist, followed by the wild chase, with its impelling rhythms. The incidental music for Adolf Paul’s play King Christian II, set in the 16th century, deals with the King’s love of a commoner, her murder by a jealous rival and the King’s bloodthirsty revenge. It includes a strongly-felt love scene, Nocturne, with many elements characteristic of the composer’s future musical language.

シベリウス　初期のマイナーな作品だが、紛れもなくシベリウスワールド。インキネンのこの録音は交響曲よりも数年前だが、後の交響曲より音質が良いのでは。歴史的情景は、旋律の印象はややと乏しい気がするがシベリウスの響きを堪能できる。クリスチャン2世　は旋律が明瞭で大変美しい。特に1曲目のノクターンは絶品で北欧と南国が交わる不思議な魅力、これだけでもこのCDの価値は充分にあるが、ほかの曲もそれぞれ魅力あり、これはカレリアと並ぶ名曲であったことに気づく。終曲は交響曲第1番を想わすラプソディックに酔いしれた。
