This final instalment of Santtu-Matias Rouvali’s Sibelius symphonies cycle showcases an evident talent – one with a real way of adding value to a fine orchestra’s contribution, besides (thankfully) only a slight tendency to the sort of point-making that gets in the way. It does no harm to pay straightforward attention to Sibelius’s sparing, but no-nonsense tempo and dynamic markings.

Concision is at the heart of these pieces. Once it’s said, it’s said. It’s there and then it’s gone. No embellishment or prevarication. The Sixth has an air of fantasy about it, a childlike logic and wonder. But the wonder is realised from moment to moment – and the rest is silence. Rouvali and the Gothenburgers really fill those silences where and whenever they occur.
