Reviews:
“Sibelius’ Second Symphony (January 1959) is an example of Mercury’s repertoire expansion and Paray’s programme building. He takes a Toscanini-Kajanus tempo, though he clearly has a finer orchestra at his disposal than Kajanus did. The reading is direct, propulsive and intense, and to me unremittingly gripping. That said, it won’t be to all tastes and the acoustic of the Ford Auditorium was not the equal of Old Orchestra Hall.” Jonathan Woolf, Music Web International,
