Review title: "Sleepy Time" Colin Davis
Product review: Potential buyers should be warned that despite the deserved praise Colin Davis has earned from his first cycle of the major works by Sibelius (with the Boston Symphony), particularly Symphonies No.3 & No.6, these shorter works suffer from a definite lack of adrenaline. It's almost as if Davis' mind was somewhere else during the recording sessions. Only in Tapiola does he wake up a bit.Davis and the BSO just go through the motions as if on "auto-pilot", and in addition, this Eloquence issue has poor sound, lifeless transfers from the original Philips recordings, which definitely sounded better.Those interested in these works should look to Jarvi, Vanska, and Sakari - just to name a few - who bring life and sonic excellence to these marvellous pieces.
