Jean Sibelius
Symphony No. 5
Weiner Philharmoniker

This is a marvellous performance by the VPO. It is hugely enjoyable and for 1966 is very well recorded too.
Is anyone familiar with Maazel's Sibelius symphony cycle with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra? If so, what do you make of it?

I wonder how the LSO Live performances compare with Davis' older recordings with the LSO on Decca and indeed with the Boston SO?Seán wrote:
