Sibelius Symphonies

Thoroughly recommend Barbirolli, for the whole cycle. Also Davis offers insightful playing. Found on EMI. Cheers

Has anyone listened to Sanderling's performances (the whole cycle) with Berlin Symphony Orchestra on Berlin Classics?

For
Symphony 5: Kondrashin with Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra on Philips.
Symphony 7: Mravinsky with Leningrad Philharmonic
Orchestra on Erato.
these two interpretations provided me different viewpoints to approach Sibelius other than the legendary Sir Barbirolli reading has established.

Newbee,
Are Blomstedt's recordings with San Francisco or Dresden? Please confirm.

Thanks you all and Happy Listening.

Otto

Sugar just corrected & completed my previous ref to C Davis. It is on Philips of course, the Barbirolli/Halle being on EMI. Sorry.

I believe that Barbirolli also did a recording of the Second for the Readers Digest series that was reissued both on vinyl and CD by Chesky that I enjoy quite a bit. Sugarbrie, glad to see you're in good shape. I imagine viewing that storm will not easily be erased from your memory.
