Turning to the sound first, the experience gained in recording the Vänskä Beethoven cycle in Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis has been gainfully employed. There appear to be two main reasons for this new cycle Vänskä has been re-thinking his approach to the symphonies, playing them in concert to a new public, and BIS has been keen to record a new set with high resolution multichannel sound. Sadly, we can never quite recapture the intensity of feeling aroused when encountering a piece of music for the first time. It certainly captured me, as did Barbirolli's inspirational Fifth. That was certainly true for me I first heard it at Hallé concerts with Sir John Barbirolli, who is still regarded as one of the symphony's finest exponents. Indeed, the Second Symphony is often cited as the one which led listeners to the composer. It has a happy pairing of the Second with the Fifth, since they have musical features in common, and are arguably the most popular of the set.

It's over a decade since Vänskä's Sibelius cycle with the Lahti orchestra was completed. How sad that the SACD does not include the excellent quadraphonic mix of this album.
