Aho: Symphony No. 8; Pergamon

Aho: Symphony No. 8; Pergamon

Ericsson; Lahti Symphony Orchestra; Vanska

"Pergamon, written for the 350th anniversary of Helsinki University in 1990, is based on the so-called Pergamon Altar that dates from the 2nd century BC. It's an extraordinary edifice, with a 371ft frieze depicting the battle between the gods (in human form) and the giants (fallen angels). This gigantomachy, reconstructed in Berlin's Pergamon Museum, gives Aho plenty of scope for thrilling orchestral effects, starting with that massive gong and drum smash and ensuing organ pedal."
