Charles Mackerras & London Proms Symphony – Finlandia: Music of Grieg & Sibelius (SACD hibrid)

An early Decca/RCA classic, recorded by none other than Kenneth Wilkinson, who was so synonymous with the Decca sound that he retired when PolyGram took over the company in 1980. Music by Grieg & Sibelius, conducted by Charles Mackerras and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Walthamstow Assembly Hall. Remastered for Analogue Productions by Willem Makee.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
