SIBELIUS: Orchestral Works - Jochum, Kamu, Helsinki Radio Symphony, Symphonieorchester des Beyerischen Rundfunks (2 CDs)

Among the many Sibelius recordings in existence, those that have certainly been overlooked are the Okko Kamu readings of the Four Legends, Karelia Suite and two of the tone poems – The Bard and En Saga. Previously issued on a French ‘Double’ disc, they make their first significant appearance, coupled with the much-praised Sibelius readings of Eugen Jochum, previously issued in DG’s ‘Sprache der Welt’ series.
