Free Music Review: Great recordings of Sibelius 5 & 6!
Hit: 5 Stars
As the piece that first got me interested in classical music, the fifth symphony of Sibelius naturally holds a dear place in my heart. This is my second recording of the fifth, and my first time hearing te sixth, which I also have grown to like, as well. The first recording I had was a used copy of Lorin Maazel and the Pittsburgh Symphony playing the fourth and fifth, though I like this one of the fifth and sixth better. The London Symphony's playing is top-notch in this recording, and Sir Colin Davis leads them on in a thrilling interpretation of Sibelius' masterpiece. As others have mentioned, however, it is (barely) possible to hear Sir Colin humming along in the background, and may be annoying to some individuals, although in my opinion it's not too noticeable. Overall, I would say that this is a stunning album of these two works, and would be a great addition to any classical-music-lover's library. These "LSO Live" recordings seem to be of the finest nature, and I eagerly look forward to purchasing more of them in the near future.
