Superbly played, this recording in pristine sound represents Berglund's most mature interpretation of the complete Sibelius cycle, masterworks whose greatness increases with time. Berglund's readings have always been benchmarks, with this superb orchestra in modern sound, these readings will stand out at the top of a crowded field. These readings have all of Barbirolli's affection and detail with a far more virtuosic orchestra. Must have recordings.
