Sibelius (The Essential) OSMO VÄNSKÄ (BIS) the 15 CD set in 16/44 for €19.99.
Wouldn't buy all the content individually but impossible for me to say no at that price.

This looks like a bargain; I have a previously issued cd box set of the Osmo Vanska conducted Tone Poems, they are fine performances, very well recorded.

I think this set includes everything Vänskä had recorded up to the point of issue, supplemented with Järvi's earlier cycle. Some great performances here: Vänskä's first Sibelius symphony cycle is a blast from start to finish, as is Kullervo. The Lemminkainen suite is tricky to get right, and if you like the music, be sure to check out Vänskä's second recording, also with the Lahti. Also: don't miss Anne Sofie von Otter's songs!

You're welcome. It transpires that they're also doing some good prices on DG 24bit stuff at the moment. Like Beethoven 1-9 (von Karajan) for 26 Euro. I don't need another box set (although I don't have all these in 24 bit) and I pulled back - albeit at the last second!
