"Petri Sakari's Sixth Symphony is the best we have had since Vänskä: it is thoughtful, well prepared and dedicated, and even if the Iceland Orchestra is not in the same league as the Vienna Philharmonic or the Concertgebouw, they are a very good ensemble. The Seventh is powerful and has breadth and majesty; not the equal of Colin Davis, perhaps, but eminently satisfying all the same. The second suite from The Tempest is magnificent (the Chorus of the Winds sounds quite magical) and full of mystery and atmosphere, and the well-balanced sound does credit to all concerned."
