The very best Sibelius recordings in analog

I heard him play a Brahms clarinet piece , I believe he could get a 1st job in Berlin or Vienna , perhaps even with the greatest German O., the Leipzig Gewandhaus .

Erased as a bit cheeky.
My all-time fav, which nobody agrees with, is Kurt Masur . He saw the big picture enough to view the Brahms 4 as 4 parts of one symphony . Made a good case for it too .
In the heart of the German Symphony from Mendelssohn to Brahms he batted 750 every time . Several times my wife and I heard him day after Karajan,, a revelation to hear, and see, players respond to an honest man
who they loved compared to puppets on strings pulled by a man they did not .
Critics often seem to see him as a "kappelmeister" which is just plain stupid IMO . .
Also, there is a video of him walking alone in a great crowd in Leipzig, days before the wall fell, for hours telling people to remain calm and refrain from violence . A great man still much beloved in Leipzig . May his soul rest forever in peace .

People think in their native language which affects every thing you do to include playing, hearing or writing music . In fact you can not think without language , and tend to think in same MANNER as those who share their native tongue .
Goes double for languages that are not related to most common ones and/or little studied elsewhere such as Finnish, Hungarian and Czech , all of which are very musical cultures .

@schubert I wish I said what you did! Tchaikovsky under Mravinsky is The Only one for me! The only contender is the vision of Pierre Monteaux: the beauty without mental breakdown... Sibelius 2nd under Monteaux on King Super Analog is my favorite, but, as you said, my genes frame me!...

My single recommendation is Dylana Jensen playing the Violin Concerto with Ormandy conducting.  RCA label.  Her magnum opus.  Actually everything about this is recording is great; Her instrument (a violin on loan - sad story about that for another day), Ormandy's tempo's, engineering balance between soloist and orchestra.

Disagree.  You can prove this to yourself by doing some mental arithmetic or calculating a few moves ahead in chess.  Playing squash is fast tempo and 3 dimensional - you wont get going if you are verbalising.
