Year 2015 marks the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Jean Sibelius (1865–1957), often entitled 'Finland’s national composer'. The fourth album on Ondine by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir is dedicated to the complete works for mixed choir by Jean Sibelius. The award-winning choir, one of the finest of its kind internationally, is conducted here by one of the leading Finnish choir directors, Heikki Seppänen, who has conducted a large number of professional choirs in Finland and abroad. The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir’s releases on Ondine have been a critical success: the first release was given an ‘Editor’s Choice’ by the Gramophone Magazine and ‘Disc of the Year’ by the renowned German weekly Die Zeit.
The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and their Finnish conductor, Heikki Seppänen, have left no musical stone unturned in their quest to find and record every piece that Sibelius composed for mixed choir. Here we have 58 tracks (the shortest just 27 seconds in duration) on two discs, making a total of just over 100 minutes’ worth of music. Sibelius composed his first choral songs in the late 1880s. He was then kept busy throughout his career with both male-voice and mixed-choir festival commissions. Some are gems, others less memorable. However, the majority rise above the merely average and are invariably imbued with a fine sense of word-setting. This release includes everything up to Sibelius’s arrangement of a favourite children’s Christmas song, penned in 1954, when he was 89.
Disc 1 gets off to a fine start with the warm glow of Rakastava (‘The Lover’), Sibelius’s pioneering and longest a cappella work. Arttu Kataja’s baritone solo is especially impressive here. The Op 18 Songs are equally effective and memorable, notably the extended ‘Glade of Tuoni’. Much of his choral writing consists of melody-dominated homophony, with clear-cut, regular phrasing (naturally suggested by the strophic nature of his texts) and soaring, memorable melodic lines, clothed with wholesome diatonic harmonies – it sounds as though it is deeply rewarding to sing. Occasionally there are unexpected (and welcome) modulations, for example in the exceptionally beautiful ‘Dreams’ of 1917.
None of the three tiny Carminalia of 1898 is a gem by any means. Alas, for the sake of completeness, they are heard in three guises: a cappella, with harmonium and then with piano. The Three Songs for American Schools of 1913 also have an inconsequential charm. From the Op 23 collection (salvaged from an incomplete academic degree cantata for the University of Helsinki), the most attractive numbers include ‘Like a Surging Stream’, which is enhanced by the addition of obbligato bass drum, cymbals and triangle. Finally, there are two versions of the Finlandia hymn. Given that this tune, above all others, embodies the patriotic musical sentiment of Finland, I found these performances somewhat lacking in fervour. Occasionally some of the sopranos’ harder tone becomes a little wearying. Although the recorded sound is quite neutral it captures well the robust, outdoor nature of this repertory.Review by Malcolm Riley, Gramophone.co.uk
This year we celebrate the 150th birthday of two giants of Nordic music, Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius. Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing a Dacapo collection of Nielsen’s Songs for choir and a while back I welcomed a fine recording of Sibelius’s Masonic Funeral Music. The standard of singing in both releases is exceptional, and the recordings do the music proud. Most important, these issues underline – in their different ways – the robustness and variety of these composers’ vocal writing. Sibelius never strayed far from choral music; indeed, as Sakari Ylivuori points out in his detailed liner-notes one of the composer’s very last creations – composed in 1954 – was a setting for children’s choir of Joululaulu (A Christmas Song).
The forces assembled here are new to me, although it doesn’t take long to realise these Baltic singers are really rather good. They are directed by the Finn Heikki Seppänen, who started out as an organist but moved on to choral and orchestral conducting. He strikes me as a sympathetic and scrupulous musician who draws clean, well-blended sounds from the EPCC. Like so much of Sibelius’s choral output the first item, Rakastava (The lover), was originally written for male-voice choir. It’s a demure little piece, enlivened by some lovely interplay between the men and women. Ensemble is always crisp, although the sound is apt to harden in the higher registers. Otherwise the recording is well-focused, and the occasional soloists rise out of the mix with ease.
The baritone Arttu Kataja is particularly memorable in this opener and in the ten songs from the 1897 Promotional Cantata on CD2. Beginning with his Op. 18 – five songs of which are chosen here – these works embrace all manner of moods and subjects, although there are times when I would have liked a little more animation from these singers. To his credit Seppänen controls dynamics with great care and he has a real feeling for musical shape; now if only he showed the same flair when it comes to vocal nuance and colour this would be an exceptional set.
That said, Seppänen and the EPCC are never less than accomplished. I warmed to their renditions of the three Latin school songs of Carminalia, given here in the a cappella version and those with harmonium and piano. The instruments are nicely balanced and Folke Gräsbeck’s playing is suitably spirited. However, the rival accounts from the Jubilate Choir conducted by Astrid Riska (BIS-CD-998) are livelier and more full-bodied. Different balances affect one’s perception of the music-making, but even allowing for BIS’s bolder, more forward presentation Jubilate’s performances communicate far more readily than the EPCC’s do.
I see from the booklet that this is a 24-bit DXD recording, so I’m a little surprised that Ondine decided to release it as a vanilla CD and download. Perhaps if it had been offered as an SACD and high-res download the sound might be airier and slightly less fatiguing in the treble. I have to say the BIS recording, made in 1996/7, is much more to my liking; I feel the music is better served as well, as the BIS team capture a sense of immediacy and ardour that eludes the Ondine crew. If you sample Volume 11 of BIS’s Sibelius Edition – a 6-CD set devoted to the composer’s choral music – you’ll find the same applies there too.
As a rule complete sets – whether two discs or six - are best sampled in small doses if the content is not to seem too samey. The ten songs that Sibelius reworked from his Promotion Cantata of 1897 make a good starting point; this is a rather lovely work in which the vocal soloists play a pivotal part. Also, there’s a splendid sense of gravitas here; I just wish the treble weren’t so tiring, for the female soloists are clear-toned and wobble-free. Riska’s soloists don’t supplant Seppänen’s, but her forces add a much-needed air of jubilation to the proceedings.
The Christmas songs and those written for children at home and abroad are pleasing enough, but as so often in this set there’s a slightly ‘grey’ element to the choir’s delivery that dulls the charm of these pieces. As for the two Finlandia-hymni settings I’d expected them to be more stirring than this; by contrast the Jubilate Choir will give you goose bumps, such is the passion and power of their singing. Not only that, it’s so much easier to discern the magnificent central tune from Sibelius’s orchestral blockbuster, Finlandia.
If you’re looking for all Sibelius’s works for mixed choir in one affordable place this Ondine release is a decent and obvious choice. However, the singing, although polished, is a little short on drive and character. For strong, idiomatic accounts of these and the rest of this composer's choral works – with recordings to match – that BIS box is the one to go for.
Accomplished, but undercharacterised; the 16-bit sound is a tad fatiguing, too.Review by Dan Morgan, MusicWeb-International.com
