Music For The Day

The first and second movements from Symphony no. 2 by Jean Sibelius (1902).

 

Performed here by Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

It’s a good version, albeit alternately overwrought and halting on occasions, and not a patch on the LSO/Davis recordings and performances, which remain the best available to date.
