Interesting, I couldn't download from the site because of geographical restrictions, so I went with Presto Classical.
I found the Tannhauser a bit sluggish in the central section, but as far as the Sibelius went, I thought it had plenty of swagger and incisiveness; certainly more than Barbirolli's (Chesky/Reader's Digest), and Davis in Boston and with the LSO.
Probably the most robust I know is Szell's but as I've mentioned before in these parts, his fourth mov't doesn't get me in the zone.
