A master Sibelian at work: another magnificent seven.......2004-02-14

So when I saw that Leaper had recorded the 7th again - this time in 1997 with his own (at the time of the recording) Orquesta Filarmonica de Gran Canaria - well, I had to give it a whirl. And does it disappoint? Not at all. As before Leaper captures the fluidity of this intensely beautiful music, it's elegance and majesty; all the tempos are spot on, every line and phrase shaped to perfection, every dynamic nuance just right. Leaper is terrific with the details of the piece but never at the expense of the bigger picture. The 7th should be a unified, organic whole and that's exactly what it is here. In comparison other versions tend to sound episodic and full of awkward, clumsy moments. I played several other accounts of the 7th after this and it was like looking at several different photographs of the same scene, one in perfect focus and beautifully composed and the others blurred and shaky.

If pushed I'd have to say that I still prefer the earlier version as this perhaps lacks just the last degree of magic of its predecessor. Nonetheless it's very, very nearly as good. As on Naxos the (relatively) little known orchestra performs like a world-class outfit. True, this version is very similar to the Naxos one but, as those recordings now seem to have been withdrawn in favour of Petri Sakari's newer cycle, this CD is very good news. Also the sound quality improves upon Naxos - that was good but this is excellent, with particularly nice brass and a more spacious feel.

I should just mention that the 2nd Symphony is very enjoyable here too; the 2nd has never meant anything like as much to me as the 7th though so I won't comment on it further.

A little web research reveals that Adrian Leaper has received plenty of praise for his Sibelius recordings (and, indeed, other recordings). Quite right too. This British conductor's name may not have quite the kudos of Rattle, Davis, Berglund etc etc. but I care not a jot. Listen to his recordings and you'll hear the work of a master Sibelian, and currently the best Sibelius conductor we have.
