Hello. I was wondering whether or not anyone here knows whether or not the Lahti Symphony Orchestra will be releasing either on CD or DVD some of their recordings from the Sibelius Festival. I've been watching some of their performances on Classiclive and very much enjoying them! I'm particularly interested in their performances of Sibelius and also other Finnish composers. For example, I recently listened to Englund's Symphony No. 2 (Blackbird) which I hadn't heard before but really liked [and noticed via Amazon that there are only a couple of recordings of it]. 

As a side note: I also saw a listing for recordings (at a high price) for some recordings from the Kuhmo Festival...no idea of the contents, but am intrigued.

Hoping that someone here might be-in-the-know....Mr. Mellor perhaps? :-)

Best wishes,

Petra

Thanks for the Information Bazza, but I would imagine that if they wanted the performances downloaded, that they would have provided that *option? I'll look at the Classiclive site again and see if they have any further information regarding recordings and availibility.

*Like some Dutch radio stations (from what I understand from what Rolf has said?)?

Best wishes,

Petra

p.s. Andrew (Gramophone), have you heard anything by the way [I know how much you live Finnish music!]?

Numerous recordings from the Lahti SO are available - many on Spotify, for those interested - Lahti Symphony Orchestra

As for Petra's doubts about the proporiety of capturing streaming video or audio - it can't be stopped, I guess, so if you put your stuff up... From Petra's point of view, if you ever recorded a video from the TV, it is the same thing...

Exactly so. They aren't stupid.
