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

I have that one too.

Fine work by the young Ms. Wicks with Sixten Ehrling. Sibelius himself was a fan of hers. But as for sound quality, even Camilla herself wasn't happy. I read an interview of her in which she complained there was a flaw in the recording equipment which made her sound out of tune. I then listened to the LP, not great sound even by early 50s mono standards, but I could hear no trace of any intonation problems. I shrugged. Life went on.
Years later it was finally reissued on CD by Biddulph. Listening carefully to that, I'll be d@mned if a slight trace of wobbling pitch instability didn't raise its ugly head.
Bottom line, it's nice to have the Sibelius-approved Wicks version, and its also nice to hear the vastly better recorded latest high-rez versions. It's all good.
