Re-listening to and weeding out a  good many LPs, I was a bit surprised by how much I liked Ormandy's Sibelius 2 (the circa 1957 Columbia recording) -- a piece that has a special meaning to me. My performance of preference has long been Hannikainen's, and I'll stick with that, but there's a rhythmic sweep to Ormandy's reading that is hard to deny -- one feels that the Philadephians found that their virtues and the nature of this piece were a perfect match.

Fully agree with you, Larry.   I think Ormandy was a very convincing conductor of Sibelius' music.

Another example: Ormandy's recording of Sibelius' VC with Oistrakh is one of my favorite recordings of this work.
