Free Music Review: This one is not so bad.
Hit: 5 Stars
I do not find these two symphonies to be slow or ponderous. The details of the music is allowed to come out. Sir Colin Davis simply did not pound out the details yet keeps the appropriate Sibelian architecture. I find this rendition to be a good balance between the strong and the delicate Sibelius. Perhaps too many listeners are expecting Finlandia. I recommend these two symphonies because they are accessible,charming, warm and entertaining.
Jean Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 6 Poster
This is part of Sir Colin Davis's second set of Sibelius's symphonies. The first recordings, with the Boston Symphony for Philips, were highly acclaimed in their time and remain available on two budget-priced sets. Since the BSO plays with a palpably lusher sound than the LSO, many listeners may still prefer those recordings. But these newer performances have more powerful climaxes, and overall a more aggressive approach to the music which grabs the listener's attention more immediately, sometimes a very positive factor in enigmatic music like that of Sibelius. RCA's recording is amazingly fine. --Leslie GerberClassical Music CDs
