I admire Vanska tremendously as a conductor - I have seen him perform live with the SFS a few times, and have quite a few recordings, but my reaction to the new Sibelius 2 is exactly that - it is a very personal interpretation. I have typically preferred readings that treat the music with more rigor - Szell (both the Concertgebouw and the Cleveland) is perhaps my favorite conductor in this music, and I also like the Davis/ BSO a lot. Not a fan of Paavo Jarvi or Barbirolli, for example. I have heard the new Vanska twice, and still remain puzzled and on the fence. OTOH, the performance of Sibelius 5 is terrific.
