James Tobin said of conductor Horst Stein:

You're thinking of Jussi Jalas (still alive? I dunno), who also made some
good Sibelius recordings in the 70's that are on a different London/Decca
2-for-1.  I know Jalas also made some other Sibelius recordings besides
these, but I don't know what they were, and these are the only ones on
CD (the set contains the 2 Tempest suites, the King Christian suite, The
Swanwhite suite, 4 pieces from Kuolema, the complete Scenes Historiques,
and the 20' Scaramouche reduction which Jalas himself devised with
Sibelius' approval and which is good to listen to when you're not up for
Jarvi's disc of the complete version).  Jalas is one of those who says
they saw the pages of the 8th before Sibelius destroyed it.
