Yes, I have bought and listened to this record, and I recommend it strongly. Sibelius #4 is one of my absolute favourites, and I have listen to a lot of recordings without finding anything like the Karajan on DG. But this recording by Sakari is great. It is a very compex score. Sibelius is extremely concrete here, there is not one bar that not have a function. There is also a very good interpretation of #5. Powerful, and with a great drive. The sound is good NAXOS-sound. Regards! Lars-Johan Lonn [log in to unmask]
