If you prefer your Sibelius tight and dark, this coupling is fine but I like my Sibelius open and bright. Davis is a great conductor but these performances sound stiff, although No. 5 has much more life. Nothing wrong with the marketplace price, but I would look elsewhere.
Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 5 Poster
Sir Colin Davis's recordings of Sibelius symphonies with the Boston Symphony were highly acclaimed when they were first issued on Philips LPs, and they remain available to this day. The interpretations are essentially similar to these new RCA recordings, although Davis now outlines Sibelius's rhythms a bit more forcefully. And the Boston Symphony sounds better than the London Symphony, even though the LSO has the benefit of more recent recordings than the BSO. Plus, due to their age, the Boston recordings are now issued as "twofers," two Philips discs for the price of RCA's one. Unless you are allergic to even the best analog recordings, the choice for Davis's Sibelius seems obvious: Boston. --Leslie GerberClassical Music CDs
