The Grazzi brothers are back with their long awaited recording of the Mozart Oboe and Bassoon concertos. The playing is sensational -as expected- and this cd immediately goes to the top of the list.

I found Berglund's Sibelius to be a pleasing contrast to the other recordings in my collection. I have cheaply rounded up the Saraste cycle on multiple CD's via Amazon Marketplace.

Yes Darren, although not always my first choice in Sibelius I do like listening to his approach; as you have already indicated his can be a good contrast to other interpretations.
