It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Vanska 2nd and 5th

Yes, I own the SACD. Given Vanska's "unfussy" temperament (I am a fan), I was surprised by how highly personal his interpretation of the 2nd is. Given your fondness for Barbirolli, you might like it more than I did (Szell is, always has been, and likely always will be, my touchstone for this work, and I disagree with your assessment of the final pages). The 5th is exceptional, although I haven't compared it directly to others I own. (For example, I think Karajan's recording is good, as you do, and I dislike the Bernstein, which seems to me to be closer to a re-imagination of Sibelius' 5th by Bernstein instead of the genuine article).
