And just like the Boston Symphony's efforts at Sibelius under Davis in the 70s, this orchestra's way with Sibelius is first rate from start to finish, with the appropriate amount of gravitas given to both the symphony and the two tone poems that stand both as companion pieces and popular works all their own.

Decca has been releasing cycles of the symphonies of Sibelius about once a decade since the introduction of the long playing record. In the '50s, there was the stern-faced Anthony Collins with the lean London Symphony Orchestra. In the '60s, there was the baby-faced Lorin Maazel with the lush Vienna Philharmonic. In the '80s, there was the craggy-faced Vladimir Ashkenazy with the powerful Philharmonia Orchestra. In the '90s, there was the poker-faced Herbert Blomstedt with the colorful San Francisco Symphony. Each cycle has its advocates. 6. Valse Triste, for orchestra (from Kuolema), Op. 44/1.
