Hat tip to Nico Muhly of all people for this one. The other day he tweeted:
As a huge fan of the Osmo Vänskä cycle of Sibelius symphonies with the Lahti Symphony recorded in 1996-97, I checked the link. “Like free,” turns out to be $9.99, but I see Muhly’s point. Less than 10 bucks for the best Sibelius cycle since Sir Colin Davis’ mid-1970s standard-bearer with the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a very small price to pay. Plus, you get all the important (Karelia, Lemminkäinen, Finlandia, En Saga) incidental music and tone poems as well as the not-so-important ones. (The Tempest, Overture in E major, Snöfrid, etc.) All of that for less than $10, you might say it’s, like, free.

Thanks for the, like, tip. Nico has the most scatological website of a serious composer that I’ve ever seen, but he’s a fabulous composer. How do you like the Master Chorale’s CD of his choral works?

Marshall, I love the LAMC’s Muhly recording, particularly “Bright Mass with Canons.” Am looking forward to hearing that piece live in WDCH at the season-opener in Oct. Also greatly anticipating the new Gorecki album this fall. The Miserere performance, a few weeks ago, absolutely blew me away!
