Re-listening to and weeding out a  good many LPs, I was a bit surprised by how much I liked Ormandy's Sibelius 2 (the circa 1957 Columbia recording) -- a piece that has a special meaning to me. My performance of preference has long been Hannikainen's, and I'll stick with that, but there's a rhythmic sweep to Ormandy's reading that is hard to deny -- one feels that the Philadephians found that their virtues and the nature of this piece were a perfect match.

Fully agree with you, Larry.   I think Ormandy was a very convincing conductor of Sibelius' music.

Another example: Ormandy's recording of Sibelius' VC with Oistrakh is one of my favorite recordings of this work.

Cesar Franck - Sonate for Violin and Piano in A-dur

Do not always agree with prizes that have been awarded but the sound & flow of the Wiener's is just right for Schubert in this Penguin Rosette recording.
