		Berglund has performed the latter’s symphonies and tone poems with countless orchestras around the world and recorded the complete symphonic cycle no less than three times.
		Berglund is 75 now and the weight of years really showed as he shuffled onto the platform to begin a flaccid, uninteresting account of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3.
		Berglund seemed remarkably invigorated when he took to the podium again, and from the moment the strings started playing their striking opening figure it was clear this was an entirely different calibre of performance.

	SIBELIUS Complete Symphonies. Pelleas et Melisande Suite. En Saga. Lemminkainen's Return. Bournemouth SO/Berglund ...
		Grandmaster of Finnish Sibelian conductors Paavo Berglund (b.1929) is comparatively not well-known among collectors of Sibelius records.
		Berglund's recordings with the Bournemouth Symphony, with whom he is Conductor Emeritus, have been unavailable for so long that they have virtually reached mythical status.
		Berglund's way of bringing out details in the score is unique to him, a result not only of his understanding of the Sibelian idiom, but his intricate familiarity with the music.

		The name Paavo Berglund has become synonymous with the music of Jean Sibelius and he has had a long association with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra in his native Finland.
		This movement was well paced by Berglund who coaxed the strings to play with great warmth and depth of feeling, but unfortunately it was marred by some very harsh horn intonation throughout.
		The Andante mosso, quasi allegretto was perfectly paced, with Berglund making the music sound suitably menacing and brooding; again the horns took on an aptly rugged and stark quality; this was the most successfully rendered movement of an unevenly conducted symphony.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / Paavo Berglund takes his first bow at BSO
		For several days there has been a buzz from Symphony Hall all week that extraordinary things were happening in Paavo Berglund's rehearsals for this week's concerts.
		Berglund chose a long and demanding program of early music by Benjamin Britten and late music by his countryman Jean Sibelius.
		To Berglund the phenomenon of Sibelius is not unfamiliar; he has been studying and conducting the cycle of symphonies for a half-century and he has recorded them three times.

	SA-CD.net - Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 7 - Berglund
		Paavo Berglund has been intimately associated with the orchestral music of Sibelius for decades.
		Berglund, of course, has been conducting these symphonies since the early 1950s and indeed he even wrote a book about the Seventh Symphony back in the 1960s.
		Berglund understands that; his transitions are seamless, he maintains a steady pulse that underlies the entire symphony, even though the listener is generally not aware of that because of the multitude of changes in the materials being presented.

	SIBELIUS Kullervo. 1972 and 1985 recordings by Berglund (EMI) - INKPOT
		Though the music was composed and first performed in 1892, over one hundred years ago, Sibelius withdrew it from the world, and only allowed the third movement to be performed in celebration of the centenary of the publication of the Kalevala in 1935, when the composer himself was 60 years of age.
		Paavo Berglund (left) recorded it again in June 1985 with EMI Records, in a much-acclaimed performance.
		In any case, what satisfies me about Berglund's way with the work is how he brings so much underlying energy to the music, despite its fairly moderate pace and the simplicity of the devices Sibelius used to constuct the music.

	Finnish Music Quarterly
		Paavo Berglund, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Osmo Vänskä, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Sir Colin Davis, Sir Simon Rattle, and Neeme Järvi are today's great Sibelius conductors, carrying on a tradition that began with Robert Kajanus and Sir Thomas Beecham.
		Paavo Berglund's conducting career began in 1949, when he founded his own chamber orchestra.
		He agrees with Berglund that correcting the balance of a Sibelius symphony is extremely laborious because the composer's dynamic markings are often 'way off'.

		Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony recorded the complete Sibelius symphonies during the mid-1970s.
		Berglund's version of the symphony is a powerfully implacable one, and features good orchestral playing throughout.
		Thor's hammer swings into life at the start of the finale, but what's lacking is the contrast in quieter passages, like the difficult staccato variant of the hammer-swinging motif for the violins, where some ragged ensemble is apparent.

		But, Berglund's middle movement is the best I've heard by far; the obsessively repeated melody seems to weave in and out of the orchestral fabric very seductively.
		Berglund, I believe, was the first to fully record a complete cycle of Sibelius symphonies.
		The Helsinki Philharmonic has always had a strong affiliation with Sibelius's music, and Paavo Berglund is a renowned Sibelius conductor who has recorded three separate symphony cycles (once with the Bournemouth Symphony orchestra, the 2nd time with these recordings, and a third time with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe).

		Berglund recorded this with the Bournemouth SO in the early 70s; it was a 'world premiere'.
		Here, Berglund portrays the tragedy of the rustic tale of accidental incest between Kullervo and his long-lost sister as though it really is taking place amongst the vast forested wilderness of Finland, whereas Vanska, for instance, is firmly rooted in his recording venue, carefully protecting the music from the elements.
		Most of the (early 1970s) recordings here are definitive, especially the 'Finlandia'; conductor Paavo Berglund matching intensity with wit, colour with pace, and, in particular, bringing out the vibrancy of Sibelius's writing for wind and strings.

		Two memorable recent performances from the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Paavo Berglund form the next release on the Orchestra’s own label.
		These acclaimed performances of Sibelius’ Second and Seventh Symphonies, recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall in 2003 and 2005, are full of searing excitement, warmth and power – complementing and fittingly extending Berglund’s discography of music by Sibelius, which has profiled his relationship with some of the world’s greatest orchestras.
		The disc (recorded and mastered in surround SACD 4.0) is the first on the Orchestra’s new label to feature Berglund, and also Sibelius – a composer with whose music the Orchestra has enjoyed a lifelong association.

		Berglund lets the burnished strings sing their collective hearts out, yet their rich sonority never cloys.
		Sometimes Berglund's tempo changes and transitions lack breathing room and dramatic clarity.

		Berglund is the perfect choice to conduct these works.
		He presented the world premiere of the Kullervo Symphony and has recorded three complete cycles of all the Sibelius symphonies.

	Trombones, a bit less please!, by Pekka Saarinen (in photo gallery Seven months with Canon G1)
		Paavo Berglund is one of the greatest conductors alive.
		Sounds simple but most conductors just 'let it go' and let the music form by itself.
		Berglund carefully adjusts the balance and interpretation to match his view of the works, and it's always a refreshing moment to hear how something greater than just the mere notes emerge from the score.
