Description:

[Classical Masters No. 9] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. From the beginning, No. 5 is filled with a pastoral atmosphere, and the entire piece evokes the grandeur of Scandinavian nature. The 7th is filled with a deep sense of fantasy, typical of Sibelius. Barbirolli's conducting is not overly analytical, and the overflowing sensibility and emotion are appealing.
