You probably do not remember them because you would automatically reach for your Abbado set; your go to set for these works I warrant. I would have the same issue with some of my favourite music; I would have to consciously decide to play something other than my normal go to choice.

Just heard yesterday this symphony with The Helsinki Philharmonic and their chief conductor John Storgards who is saying farewell to the orchestra with this tour.

Yes it is. In fact the Maazel / VPO cycle is very good indeed.

The HPO have form in the Sibelius repertoire; that must have been a very enjoyable concert Pepe.
