Thanks Colin.
He got progressively faster ending with his final recording at just over 14 minutes. This is just over 15 minutes and his earliest recording I have is a more conventional 16 / 17 minutes unless you are Herbert von Karajan at 19 minutes!
Here he does successfully capture the frenetic atmosphere from the beginning which I like very much.
There is not much time for Nordic contemplation but instead we get a rip roaring (I do not jest) account that stands up well in a now crowded field.
Bravo to the great Paavo Berglund one if Finland’s finest.
