The second volume of Anthony Collins's Sibelius cycle for Decca, expertly remastered for this reissue, brings the final three symphonies plus all the shorter works of Sibelius from Collins. As a bonus, Thomas Jensen's Karelia Suite, trim, taut and vivid, brings the set to a blazing finish “I think the star performance is that of the Sixth Symphony - so elusive, so easy to ruin by over-interpreting. I was fascinated by what seemed like a hint of Russian flavouring in the string chants of the coda - well why not?” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Recorded between 1952 and 1955 the Hastings born Anthony Collins takes the London Symphony Orchestra on a journey through all seven symphonies. At times you can sense the orchestra are on the edge of their seats. “Collins was in some ways the ideal recording conductor, for he could combine an unerring sense of style with a natural gift for spontaneity. These authoritative accounts at bargain price have a prized and special place in the Sibelius discography.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 **** “A disappointingly tentative, undermotivated Fourth aside, Collins's readings possess a red-blooded fervour and thrusting energy to which many will rightly respond.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
