Listening to some Sibelious - today is a Chandos CD of symphonies three, six, and seven.  I really like Mr. Gibson, especially his earlier Sibelius recordings, which are fantastic.  And so far I'm really enjoying the PERFORMANCES, but the sound is the usually washy Chandos sound - it's a bit better than most of theirs, but I simply like to be closer to the orchestra.  But Gibson is excellent and so is the band.  Interestingly, all the symphonies in this cycle were put into a slipcase and released complete - and that slipcased set is OOP and going for a LOT of dough.  So, I bought the three CDs by themselves - total cost for all three - 19.00 from third-party sellers.  So you're paying all that extra money for a slipcase - because what's IN the slipcase are the three jewel-cased CDs that I bought.  Go know.
