Karajan was never at his best in Sibelius’ Second Symphony. Although he does well enough in the first three movements, the finale suffers from a penchant for grandiosity that makes it seem to go on forever. That said, the playing of the Philharmonia is really beautiful, as is also the case with the Fifth Symphony, Karajan’s finest recording. Listen free to Herbert von Karajan Sibelius: Symphony No.

Firstly Paavo Berglund and the Helsinki Philharmonic: here you get the sense that this is clearly in their blood nothing is forced, nor pronounced, and although there is some suspect intonation in the woodwinds, they impart a steely coldness that is attractive. From an intense and expansive opening, via a gloriously controlled slow movement, through to the Finale’s shimmering strings and turbulent climax, this is an interpretation of great passion and strength.There are also two all-Finnish teams among the contenders. Although there is a trace of tape hiss and a slight constriction in sound quality, this is nevertheless awash in colour and dynamism. Right from the outset, Rattle’s highly polished forces are on show, with the woodwind and, even more so, the brass right on the button as regards intonation and tonal quality, as well as executing the lyrical moments to a tee.Rattle’s current orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, made its mark on this work over 45 years ago under erstwhile principal conductor, Herbert von Karajan. The final version received its first performance on November 24 of that year, again under the composer’s baton in Helsinki.During his tenure as principal conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle produced some magnificent recordings and his Sibelius Five is certainly one of them. He revised it twice: in 1916, when the first two movements were amalgamated, and later in 1919.
Vänskä’s version is a strong candidate, but Karajan’s has the edge he and the Berliners really seem to get the heart and soul of the work. Both he and the LSO are on top form in this live, albeit somewhat closely recorded account so close in fact that Davis is heard humming at times! But despite this occasional distraction, each movement is beautifully crafted, with the closing pages judged to perfection.Poor Sibelius struggled to find a formula that he was happy with, but all his deliberating paid off in the end. This CD also contains their account of the original 1915 version that many will find an indispensable addition to their record collection.Finally, we turn to one of this country’s finest interpreters of Sibelius’s music, Sir Colin Davis. Highlights include some wonderfully sensitive bassoon playing in the first movement and dynamically played tremolando strings at the beginning of the last movement.
