Well, the work itself is somewhat on the facile side (not cute like Reich's "Drumming", of course, but very consumer-friendly by Xenakis standards), but the performance - and especially, the sound - are excellent. I will be returning to this one for sure.

Like it after first listen, like it just fine. Attacca Quartet hella band, and Shaw has very clear ideas about what goes where and why not anything else does.

I can't say at the moment. Need more time.

This morning, Saint-Saëns' "Organ" Symphony as performed by Münch and the Boston SO: 

Thrilling.

Cd 3, Symphony's 2 & 3

Got the whole Barbirolli  set and like it a lot, but I wouldn't say it's the last word. Haven't listened to all of Berglund's set with the Helsinki orchestra, but so far it's a contender and as different from Barbirolli as chalk from cheese  -- sharper edges, less romantic.

I am now listening to the fourth cd and i like the set for sure.

From what i read i understood there doesn't exist a totally essential complete set as a whole. If you want cream on your listening experience you have to listen to several seperate recordings of his Symphony's. 

What i like about this set is that it has a feeling of distance about it but at some spots also a feeling of warmth. I expect it to be played like this. Barbirolli has the same Zodiac Sign as Sibelius. So puristic material i would say... Sometimes slowly revealing it's beauty, and often powerfull in the last movement of the symphony.

Sibelius himself liked the way Barbirolli conducted his works so that says a lot to.
