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

RE: Colin Davis' final Sibelius 2nd: blah

I recently purchased the LSO Live repackaging of Davis' last Sibelius cycle (which includes a Pure Audio Blu-Ray disc along with the several SACDs). In general, a disappointment both in sound quality and interpretation. After that, I dug up my Karajan EMI/Warner Sibelius from the remastered edition and was stunned at the power and passion of the performances. Somehow I'd forgotten about them (getting old, I think). The sound is a little rough at times, but the performances are riveting. Now I can enjoy these discs as well as the Maazel/VPO when I'm in the mood for Sibelius.
