Sibelius Symponies Berlin Phil Simon Rattle

Posted by: Chris G on 08 February 2015

Has anyone else heard the complete cycle given this week in Berlin?  I caught it on the BPO website - streamed in good quality sound and picture.  Rattle's Sibelius has gained in intensity over the years and the playing of the BPO was magnificent in every department.  Interesting that Rattle decided to play the seventh without a break after the sixth.  They repeat the series in London this week, being broadcast on Radio 3 live - well worth a listen!
