I also have a remake of Koussevitzky's commercially recorded version (via 78-rpm discs), also with the BSO. Otherwise, I tremendously enjoy a "cheapie" set on Brilliant Classics of all the Sibelius symphonies with Kurt Sanderling, an outstanding Russian conductor who captures the spirit of Sibelius quite stunningly. I have an old AS Disc CD 562 which he performs live with the Boston Symphony in 1943 (I was less than a year old - imagine!), coupled with the Sibelius Sixth. 1 and 2 are), I always find that any Sibelius performed by Serge Koussevitzky to be the most rewarding. While Sibelius's Fifth Symphony is not my favorite among them (Nos. His #5 is the highlight of his overall very excellent complete Sibelius symphony set with NYPO, originally for CBS. Really quite overwhelming, far more so than his VPO recording.the only one I've ever hear clasoe was a live concert tape of many years back with Salonen/LAPO - that was excellent, too.īernstein/NYPO really nails the 1 mvt actually. He gets the balance just right between the trumpets and trombones in the closing pages.the NYPO simply roars forth with tremendous power. the whole recording is superb, but the finale really seals it. Great recording, one of Lenny's best ever. Any recommendations? Bernstein/NYPO by a wide margin. Now the question I put to our panel of experts here - in which recording of this work does this third-movement passage sound the most powerful? Of the discs I have it's the Karajan.
And I'm always moved when the mighty third-movement horn theme emerges. Febnyc wrote:The Sibelius Fifth Symphony is a special favorite.
