This Sibelius edition is a glowing testiment to the Halle Orchestra at the height of its powers under the baton of the masterful Sir John Barbirolli. Now digitally remastered and re- released, it comprehensively covers Sibelius's seven symphonies as well as favourites such as Finlandia, Karelia Suite, Valse triste and Pohjola's Daughter. The power of the brass and precision playing of the woodwind are wondrous to behold and, although there are five lengthy CDs-worth of music to listen to, large portions - such as Finlandia and the second movement of the First Symphony - are incredibly moving, such is the beauty of the performance. There are moments when the intensity does evaporate, most notably in the rather dirge-like Fourth Symphony, but over all this is undoubtedly a classic which deserved the digital brush-up.
