In Reply to: Why do you think Melodiya is "settling"? posted by Daverz on August 23, 2010 at 07:59:27:
Rozh and other Soviet/Russian conductors were simply amazing. Most carried on more of the genuine late 19th century/early 20th century performance style than the West; so much for HIP[less].
I've got the earlier Segerstam, which many praise. If your idea of Sibelius is comfortable/non-invasive/shopping-mall-ready, and you like dull, distant digital sound, than he's your man.
