Symphony No. 4 in a minor Op. 63

02. Allegro molto vivace
03. Il tempo largo
04. Allegro
05. Night Ride and Sunrise, Op. 55
These readings of Sibelius date from 1977. They are part of a cycle that has circulated widely over the years though it seems to have escaped widespread critical attention. That is a shame as Sanderling’s virtues are on full display here with readings that are never overstated and with precise attention to details.
