That being said i think Sibelius music is not about warmth. But i am happy we share, min or the less the same preference in music. Warmth, cocon-like feeling. So In a puristic way of thinking i am not made to be a total Sibelius fan. I heard the Askhenazy cycle a time ago and not to long ago the Ormandy cycle but both are not the world to me. But what the heck i just ordered the Barbarolli cycle because of your posting, listening etc. I hope i will enjoy parts of it. Bye the way. There is also a Barbarolli version of Sibelius's second with the Royal concertgebouw orchestra that is highly regarded. If you want cream on it maybe you have to listen to Szell's with the Royal concertgebouw orchestra.

cd 1

Ein Deusches Requiem, Schicksalslied, Tenstedt

Did you hear other cycles, if so can you describe them character wise ? I would like to hear your honest opinion if possible...

, nice one pope of the souls... Np

Cd 3, troisième année

Time for a good one.... and now... total devotion.

1 euro find at thriftshop Listening to Eugen Jochum's fourth of Brahms. mmw.... not bad, pretty good actually. Nice tempo's and animated also. I do hear Brahms fourth here.

Also 50 cent find thriftshop After my first listen i say; Not my cup of thee.

50 cent find thriftshop Not completely what i search for. Cheryomushki is unbelievable cheesy... Some parts of the ballets are pretty good but not original in composition.

Cd 2 symphonic poems

Me to after hearing the cd.

Cd 2 : Schumann, Sonate No. 2 = very good liszt, Sonate in B Minor = ok She can't play Chopin the right way.

First listen. Anyone on this recording ?

cd 1

cd 3

Have to slow done after Dvorak's 'Slavonic Dances '.Np c.d. 1 + 2

Very good

50 cent find but not my thing. I can't understand how people can listen to this hysterical soundmash for more than 15 minutes !

I have to pick the right moment to fully absorb this. Complete attention needed.
