I am considering purchasing this disc, but before the monetary outlay, I'd like to get more insight into this performance.
Last Saturday, I attended a performance of the Sibelius 6th by the Nashville Symphony (in their fantastic new concert hall) under Giancarlo Guerrero. It was almost a revelation - swift, urgent, intense; very well done. I greatly enjoyed it.
I currently have Jarvi's set on DG and Karajan's EMI recordings; I'm looking to purchase a Sibelius recording with more intensity and perhaps faster pace, more like what I heard live on Saturday.
How do these recordings measure up in this regard? Are they of the more reflective, relaxed variety of Sibelius or more urgent? Thanks for all opinions!
