mini-blind listening files, Sibelius 4

[aukhawk]

Some blind listening files, to go with the Sibelius 4 thread.  (These links and files will be removed after a couple of weeks)
This is the start of the 3rd movement, lasting about 3 minutes 30.  Although the music rarely rises above a whisper, there is a good variety of 'solo' instrumentation, plus some ensemble strings and massed brass.  For me I suppose this is mostly about tempo and control at piano loudness levels, plus purity of instrumental tone.

Each group contains 4 recordings that have had positive mentions here and 2 notable ones that haven't been discussed.
Which do you like?  Which don't impress?
Between them the two groups include 3 Finnish and 1 near-Finn (Scandi or Russian) conductors, and one orchestra is represented 3 times.
No conductor is represented more than once, although at least 8 of them have recorded Sibelius' 4th more than once.  This is not an all-Berglund mini-blind!

Group C added: 2 more Finns and 4 more near-Finns - these guys should know what they're about - plus one (there is only one) British-Italian-French mongrel.  2 of these have been liked in the main thread - another one is a very new issue in 2019, including this has made it a group of seven..

You know how I love these, and so I did group A even though I don't have time right now!!

A1 - Very pretty horns. But overall, a bit flat for me. I think the structure is not as well highlighted as it could be (too static). 
A2 - I like the start of this one more. A bit more variety and the horns, though less beautiful, are more effective. I found this more moving.
A3 - Too fast early on, but I like it a bit better when the strings come in.
A4 - Also faster, but somehow colder than A3.
A5 - Didn't love this one
A6 - Not bad.

None are actually badly played in these clips. I didn't comment on how they stress, at times, one or other instrument (or balance) as I thought that might give them away in such naked moments. Of them, I preferred A2.

Thankyou - and good choice!  (Though I'd say that for most of them.)

Thankyou - and good choice!  (Though I'd say that for most of them.)

Okay, my goal for when I participate this week is for you to say "bad choice!"

Too easy - just go for the quickest   

Group C now added above: 2 more Finns and 4 more near-Finns plus one (there is only one) British-Italian-French mongrel.
