So it's good to see Naxos's revealing American Classics series focus on early works - the best known of which is the muscular Symphony No. 1, in which the figure of Sibelius is never far away. Fine performances and robust sound: Volume 2 is eagerly awaited.β The Independent | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
