Sibelius, Symphony No 5, Barbirolli, Halle



A remarkable performance of a truly extraordinary work. So many points where Sibelius makes bizarre choices, which somehow seem so right.

One of my favorite Sibelius symphony cycles. Barbirolli takes some slow tempi, but he pulls it off convincingly. You should definitely hear the newer remaster, though. It sounds better than ever, IMHO.

Mozart

Violin concertos 2-1 & 5

London Philharmonic

[Spotted Horses]

I've always had a soft spot for this performance and never understood what was wrong with it. It's still one of my favorites. To be clear, I'm talking about the analog recording. 

There are two analog recordings, 1960's and 1970's. I like the 1960's one (shown) the other not so much.

Hurwitz always piques your curiosity, doesn't him? 

Yes, at least his "Haydn Crusade" consistently does. His love for Haydn is infectious.

I love both Chailly and Abbado in the Kammermusik. I don't believe I could choose between them (nor should I have to).

I've been greatly enjoying the CDs that I was given for Christmas.

My wife (DO YOU REALLY NEED ANOTHER CD?) bought me the Kalevala CD on BIS, my daughter, the excellent CPO recording of 'Echo and Narcissus' by Nickolai Tcherepnin and my son-in-law very kindly and unexpectedly gave me 'Babi Yar'.

Great stuff, Jeffrey! That Babi Yar from Muti is stunning!
