Beecham Live: Absolutely thrilling!
The Sibelius 2 is the most exciting performance I know of this work. Beecham live drives the orchestra way beyond its limits and they rise to the occasion. How I would love to have been there. The Dvorak is gorgeous, and in both you can hear this spontaneity has been carefully prepared: we know Beecham marked all the orchestral parts meticulously: when you hear the phrasing that is abundantly clear. Get it now.
