It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Pike? Suwanai or Yoo? Sibelius Violin Concerto Releases by the Cupload....

Based upon samples, I'm leaning towards Pike, even though the reviews are lukewarm. I like the delicate and distant "cool" sound of her violin at the opening. I've also read that her pacing is sensible.

Overwhelmed by choice, and contradictory reviews, I wimped out and downloaded an old favorite: Previn's and Perlman's Sibelius in Pittsburgh, released in 1980 during EMI's analog indian summer. It's a spacious and warm but detailed recording which unfortunately doesn't seem to have been preserved by the 96/24 remastering. Sounds chalky, uneven and diffuse; to my ears anyway.

I hope the other EMI analog remasterings sound better, especially the famous DuPre/Barbirolli Elgar and Barbirolli Mahler 9th. We'll see.

So which Sibelius?
