First volume in a new cycle by Tapiola Sinfonietta under Janne Nisonen presenting the symphonies of Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838), Beethoven's only acknowledged composition pupil, close friend and biographer. Often remembered in music history as Beethoven's 'right hand', these new recordings by the Tapiola Sinfonietta are showcasing a remarkable and talented early 19th century symphonist with a voice of his own.
