An Absolutely fine complete collection,
October 29, 2000 This review is from: Sibelius: The Complete Symphonies [Box Set] (Audio CD)
On my first hearing of the forth Symphony in this collection, I was quite taken by the faster than usual pace given to this clear and precise reading. I have never heard it performed in this manner before and believe it to be very refreshing in all the symphonies stark loneliness. The Sixth symphony is also given a quick, yet poetic, reading. Putting the great performances aside, the excellent consistancy of orchestral dynamics throughout, the top-shelf professional recording, and the excellent price, make this a "MUST HAVE" in any collection (even and especially to those ears that are new to the great masters work). Highly Recommended!

A most satisfying cycle,
February 15, 2007 This review is from: Sibelius: The Complete Symphonies [Box Set] (Audio CD)
Cycles of Sibelius symphones abound - but this is a special one. Gloriously rich recording and totally idiomatic playing by SNO makes this a most impressive cycle. There is no weakness anywhere. Not to be missed !
