Paavo BerglundAbout
The affinity Berglund felt with the music of Jean Sibelius went beyond shared nationality and personal acquaintance. Berglund revealed a rare physicality in Sibelius’s scores. It was there in his three recorded symphony cycles, but in these late London performances it emerged in a different, darker light. Berglund wasn’t as meticulous about observing marked tempi as some of his younger compatriots are. Instead he was impulsive, rugged and heartfelt. But his instincts always seemed to serve the musical architecture, the curious symphonic meta-flow unique to Sibelius. His death in January 2012 was talked of as a goodbye to one of the last conductors of the ‘old school’.
“Berglund inspired the characterful winds and assertive strings of the London Philharmonic to give their best, making for a warm and spacious performance that caught the passion of this Kalevala-inspired tone poem.” - The Sunday Telegraph on The Swan of Tuonela, 2006
