~新たな時代の到来を告げるインキネン&日本フィルのシベリウス完全版!~

演奏会の感動を生々しく伝える高音質のライブ録音マスターを使用。さらに、2番は既発のサントリーホールではなく、横浜みなとみらいホールのライブを収録した、チクルスの決定盤登場!
ピエタリ・インキネン&日本フィルのシベリウス(1865-1957)交響曲チクルスが、満を持してのハイレゾで登場。完璧なシベリウス・サウンドと壮大な世界観は全ての人を魅了すること間違いありません。2015年のシベリウス・イヤーを代表する名盤です。

インキネンの解釈は、全体的に緩やかなテンポ設定のなか、ひとつひとつの音に最大限の意味性を与えようとするものだった。とりわけシベリウス・サウンドを形成するうえで重要なポイントとなる木管楽器の多彩な音色、金管楽器の力強い咆哮、弦楽器の繊細なハーモニーにおいて、インキネンが申し分ないバランス感覚を示していたことは強調しておきたい。さすがに日本フィルはシベリウスのツボをしっかり押さえ、主題や動機、細かいパッセージにいたるまで、音の粒や帯に充実した生命力を吹き込んでいた。そしてクライマックスの場面では壮大な音響宇宙をダイナミックに構築するなど、聴き手の期待に十分応えてくれる内容であった。(神部 智:ライナーノートより抜粋

For a long time it has been a dream for me to compose a piano concerto, so I am grateful for this opportunity given by the Japan Philharmonic Commission Series. ( “Japan Phil Series”) In composing this work, I tried to explore what the piano concerto can mean in this day and age, and the diverse colours I can bring out of the piano. In terms of the relationship between the piano and orchestra, I aimed to create a variety of dynamics: sometimes in harmony, sometimes in dialogue, and at times against each other. The work consists of three movements. Most of the main elements that form this concerto appear in the first movement and are developed. The second movement begins with a dialogue between the clarinet and piano, and a brief cadenza is placed in the second half. The third movement is a toccata-like finale in fast quintuple time. Just before the final section, the second movement cadenza reappears, leading into the coda.
