HutchFan Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, Referentzhunter said: , Sibelius once said: 'My music is in good hands ofĀ Barbirolli'. BarbirolliĀ also recorded the second with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra earlier. Still want to hear that version ! Maybe one time in the future. Nice to see this set come by.... Barbirolli's Sibelius 2 with the RPO is probably more highly regarded than his version with the HallĆ© O.Ā The RPO version is more extroverted --Ā and more well-recorded. (It was engineered by Kenneth Wilkinson and subsequently reissued on Chesky.) FWIW, I actually prefer Barbirolli's recording with the HallĆ©. But any Sibelius fan needs to hear both. Ā Ā Incidentally, like Larry, I'm not a fan of Herbert von Karajan's Sibelius.Ā I don't hear anything so dire as a Nazi rally; HvK's reading is just so polished,Ā sleek, and smooth. ... It doesn't align with my idea of Sibelius.Ā Edited November 11, 2019 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
