Writing for MusicWeb International, Rob Barnett states: “The Sibelius Third has Mozartian intimacy as well as a bristling urgency. There are few instances of gestural Tchaikovskian heroics. This tautness and perfection of balance and scale is clearly prized by Vänskä making this one of the strongest recordings.” Compare this Mozartian elegance of Sibelius to the master himself as Augustin Hadelich plays Mozart’s Second Violin Concerto, plus Thomas Ades’ shimmering “Concentric Paths.”
