    Why bother?

    There are plenty of better, more idiomatic
    readings. And since do you care about
    other liesteners' opinions?

    I'm interested in the interpretations of foreign orchestras and conductors in 'idiomatic' literature. Think Rozhdestvensky in RVW, or Angeleno Bruckner, or French/Estonian Sibelius.

    "Foreign" as in not Finnish or Scandinavian?

    and conductors in 'idiomatic' literature.

    We have long suspected you have a BDSM streak.

    Think Rozhdestvensky in RVW, or Angeleno
    Bruckner, or French/Estonian Sibelius.

    I'd rather watch baseball. I don't understand it,
    however it doesn't annoy me.

    I was interested in it when it came out, particularly since it's available in SACD (albeit stereo only), but the reviews were less than enthusiastic and I was unimpressed when I first sampled it via streaming. I'm listening to it now -- streaming again --
    from start to finish. About halfway through. It's fine, but seems to lack any great peaks of excitement. It's steady-as-she-goes all the way. It's a version I would opt for if I wanted to have Sibelius as background music.

    That's the Jarvi family speciality.
