Short notes on Sibelius Seven Symphonies


For those interested in Sibelius Symphonies, there are 3 that i consider worth consideration. Kurt Sanderling/Berlin Sym. Orch. ( can be had for $15!! on a new budget label, i paid $40 on Berlin Classics). Sir John Barbirolli/Halle Orch.(his second recording cycle 1966-1970, EMI 724356729926) Leif Segerstam/Danish Radio Sym. Orch. On Sym #1 there is one i would highly recommend (my favorite), Stokowski/National Phil.Orch (Sony label #7464632602. On Sibelius' op.7 Kullervo, Segerstam does a truly spectactular performance. In a few days i'll have the new recording by P. Jarvi/Royal Stockholm P.O., and will post a note.
