Sibelius Symphony No.1 - Barbirolli The Hallé Orchestra

An electrifying performance in excellent sonics

Still one of the best performances of Sibelius' First Symphony. With the Halle Orchestra at the height of its powers, Barbirolli gives a stunning performance, pacing the music perfectly to an absolutely electrifying finish. And the sound on this HDTT transfer from the LP is equally satisfying. Yes, the sonics are of its era (and nothing shabby about that!), but the transfer is detailed, dynamic, and with extremely low noise background. Another winner in HDTT's ongoing VRR series.
