The very best Sibelius recordings in analog


Jean Sibelius, the great Finnish composer, wrote magnificent symphonies. We are celebrating Finland´s 100th Anniversary and Sibelius´ music as well.
Please tell your favorite analog recordings of his best work, I really would appreciate.
  
One of mine is the Lorin Maazel ´s 60´s symphonies on Decca label. 
Sibelius reputation rests chiefly on his great symphonies, seven spectacular creations, all with their particular points of grandeur and originality.

Originally released between 1963 and 1968 Maazel´ s Sibelius cycle met with critical acclaim. Particularly praised is Maazel´s interpretation of the Fourth Symphony in the Vienna Philharmonics only recording of the work.

My single recommendation is Dylana Jensen playing the Violin Concerto with Ormandy conducting.  RCA label.  Her magnum opus.  Actually everything about this is recording is great; Her instrument (a violin on loan - sad story about that for another day), Ormandy's tempo's, engineering balance between soloist and orchestra.

In fact you can not think without language , and tend to think in same MANNER as those who share their native tongue .

Disagree.  You can prove this to yourself by doing some mental arithmetic or calculating a few moves ahead in chess.  Playing squash is fast tempo and 3 dimensional - you wont get going if you are verbalising.
