4.0 out of 5 stars Sibelius from the "Velvet Gloved Fingers of Steel", Aug 8 2000
By Alan E. Southwick "AES :-)" (Newport, RI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although dated in sound, these performances clearly reveal the Boston Symphony and their legendary conductor, Serge Koussevitsky, in stellar form. The interpretation of the Sibelius Second has few rivals, and the Fifth is also an eye opener. Likewise, the Seventh with the BBC Symphony is stunning in it's depth and intensity. Yes, there is some surface noise, and the sound is not the best. But for all it's dated recording flaws, the interpretations are among the very finest available anywhere. The other Sibelius "bon-bon's" on this recording only add to it's enjoyment. If you want to hear revalatory Sibelius, this set is well worth having. (The "velvet gloved fingers of steel" is a reference to the Koussevitsky/BSO's string section, quoted from Harry Elis Dickson's book on Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra entitled, "Gentlemen, More Dolce, Please!")
