"The Fifth is one of the strongest of Tubin's symphonies, capturing as it does a tense, wartime atmosphere (the piece dates from 1946) in a wiry, neo-classical language that compares not unfavourably with Honegger and, in its timpani-dominated conclusion, with Khachaturian; the slow movement even looks ahead to Shostakovich's '1905' Symphony (No 11).

There have been many great recorded performances of both works, but this 1996 recording of the concerto and 2002 recording of the symphony are among the very best at the turn of the millennium. Pekka Kuusisto 's concerto is almost unbearably ardent and Leif Segerstam and the Helsinki Philharmonic 's symphony nearly overwhelmingly valiant. At least while they are playing, it absolutely ranks among the greatest performances of all time. There have likewise been many superb recordings of both works...
