Last night I attended an all Sibelius concert performed by Okko Kamu and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra.

They did not disappoint...:-D

I was sad to learn that Berglund died yesterday, may he Rest in Peace.

As a result...I can listen to anything I want from Naxos, BIS, CPO, CHANDOS, EMI CLASSICS, BBC LEGENDS and many more. Nothing like owing the cd and listening to it on your radio but still a great way to explore and discover new works suggested by any of you.
That is such a wonderful facility to be able to avail of Matt! You lucky so and so!!! If I were you I would be listening to as much as time physically allowed and building up a list of recordings that I really liked with a view to buying them when funds allowed!
