4.0 out of 5 stars DEFINITELY GOOD, 8 Feb 2003
By DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
For some reason I have been hearing indifferent performances of these pieces (except The Bard) all my life, and the first compliment I would pay this disc is that it made me realise how good this music is -- except the Swan of Tuonela. I just can't take this piece, which sounds to me like background music for a travelogue, effective sure, but lacking real distinction or 'quality'. By comparison the unpretentious Lemminkainen's Return is first-class of its kind, and like the other pieces good enough as pure music for me to have no interest in its descriptive programme.

I have not carried out comparisons with other versions currently available, but these performances are so much better than what I had got used to that I can recommend them in good conscience. They are not quite my idea of 5* quality. For that I would have wanted first a bit more impact in the recorded sound, good though it is -- nobody ever made the orchestra sound like Sibelius does -- and second a bit more 'personality' in the interpretations. That is the word Rudolf Serkin used to characterise a great interpretation. He apologised for its vagueness, but I think I know what he meant. I remain tantalised by The Bard. Something tells me this really is the greatest Sibelius, but I confess I still don't understand it.
