Sibelius / Tong- Piano Works Vol. 3 (CD)
Volume 3 from Joseph Tong of Sibelius Piano Music recorded at the Sibelius Museum Turku, Finland. Joe Tong explains 'The selection of music on this album could form the basis for a concert programme and I wanted to combine a variety of styles from different creative periods of the composer's life. My repertoire choices include some of Sibelius's early works which are less well-known yet melodically captivating in themselves, the famous set of Six Impromptus Op. 5, a lighter collection of '8 Petits Morceaux' Op. 99 and finishing with the 10 Pieces Op. 58, written in 1909 and arguably one of his greatest sets of piano pieces'.
