Has anyone listened to Sanderling's performances (the whole cycle) with Berlin Symphony Orchestra on Berlin Classics?

For
Symphony 5: Kondrashin with Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra on Philips.
Symphony 7: Mravinsky with Leningrad Philharmonic
Orchestra on Erato.
these two interpretations provided me different viewpoints to approach Sibelius other than the legendary Sir Barbirolli reading has established.

Newbee,
Are Blomstedt's recordings with San Francisco or Dresden? Please confirm.

Thanks you all and Happy Listening.

Newbee,

Finally I found the company with me on Sanderlings' performances. Try his recording of Symphony No. 5, it is very objective interpretation. Enjoy!

Newbee,

Thank you for your suggestion regarding Bantock's Hebridean Symphony. To be honest with you, I have difficulty to approach 20 century music.

Happy Listening!

Otto
