Title: The Sibelius was pretty....
Review: pretty boring! This is a piece that needs to have real blood, and yet a coldness in it at all times. This recording didn't have anything close to that. It was a standard run through for the Sibelius concerto, one that I would not like to listen to again. A plus though is that Kennedy navigates some of the technical parts of the third movement much cleaner than his contemperaries. If you want to hear this piece the way it was meant to be played, check out Heifetz/Beecham on EMI.
