How is this album ?

Well, the work itself is somewhat on the facile side (not cute like Reich's "Drumming", of course, but very consumer-friendly by Xenakis standards), but the performance - and especially, the sound - are excellent. I will be returning to this one for sure.

Got the whole Barbirolli  set and like it a lot, but I wouldn't say it's the last word. Haven't listened to all of Berglund's set with the Helsinki orchestra, but so far it's a contender and as different from Barbirolli as chalk from cheese  -- sharper edges, less romantic.

Thrilling.

 

 

 

Understood!

 

I am now listening to the fourth cd and i like the set for sure.

From what i read i understood there doesn't exist a totally essential complete set as a whole. If you want cream on your listening experience you have to listen to several seperate recordings of his Symphony's. 

What i like about this set is that it has a feeling of distance about it but at some spots also a feeling of warmth. I expect it to be played like this. Barbirolli has the same Zodiac Sign as Sibelius. So puristic material i would say... Sometimes slowly revealing it's beauty, and often powerfull in the last movement of the symphony.

Sibelius himself liked the way Barbirolli conducted his works so that says a lot to.
