Title: You can do better
Review: I know that Sir Collin Davis deserves much credit for his good work in championing the Music of Sibelius.The Seven Symphonies are wonderful and still generally underappreciated works.However, I couldn't help but find this recording a bit ponderous and dull.Tempi are slow, articulation is flabby, and there is a general lack of passion and energy that this music requires.The recordings of Paavo Berglund with the Helsinki Philharmonic are really beautiful and would be, I believe, a much better introduction to this music
