Rosenberg likes Lindberg

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's classical music critic, Don Rosenberg, reviews a stack of new classical music CDs and has some kind words for one of my favorite modern composers, Magnus Lindberg. Reviewing violinist Lisa Batiashvili's "Sibelius, Lindberg: Violin Concertos," he awards an A, and says she does justice both to Sibelius great work and to the other Finn's composition. "Magnus Lindberg's creation is almost a 21st-century extension of Sibelius' aesthetic, but with ample individual color," he writes.
