Just downloaded a few songs, will download it all. It's a wonderful collection.
I was actually looking for Kullervo (can you believe, this is the only torrent in the 'Net which has Kullervo). Found it, and it's a great version. Thank you, thank you!
Reg some of the tone poems... esp Pohjola's Daughter: some instruments seem to be absent... I cannot explain why the strong trumpets don't even squeal! Apart from that, the others all are very good.
Great collection, thanks for sharing. At 192 kbps, good quality too.

Thank you for this wonderful torrent. The Sibelius songs are new to me, as is also the quintets and piano music. All performances are excellent.

This is an amazing collection of Sibelius. Thank you so much for sharing. It´s a pity my wife does´t share my enthusiasm for this composer, perhaps she will once she has heard all of these CD´s.
