I have a Japanese import Blu-Spec CD of the Oistrakh/Ormandy Sibelius (also coupled with the Tchaikovsky) that sounds terrific. I am not aware of an earlier SACD issue for this coupling, even though you implied that one might have existed. Did I somehow miss this?
BTW, I would not characterize Oistrakh's approach to the Sibelius as "icy." Big and beefy would fit better, IMHO. But this concerto is masterful enough to benefit from widely varying interpretations. I prefer Oistrakh to Heifetz...but that's just me.
