Lisa's NEW Sibelius Concerto recording - I don't have high hopes

I think Lisa's been coasting over the last few of years - geez, remember that godawful Bach album? And what did she do before that? -Tchaikovsky song transcriptions with Nezet-Seguin (not even a complete album)? And now, she re-records the Sibelius, and, of all the people she could have collaborated with, she's got Mr. Clodhopper himself conducting. Ugh!

Like those of many composers, Lisa's first thoughts seem to have been the best when she performs any given peice in the repertoire. On the new recording, she proposes to be "as true and faithful to the score as possible. . . avoiding all the known and repeated traditional playing conventions and habits". Yeah, right. Frankly, I'm not holding out much hope, but I suppose I could always be pleasantly surprised.
