Jean Sibelius - Finlandia - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra [Complete LP]

2 years ago
102

Although billed on the record cover as Jean Sibelius' Funlandia, this recording by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra also contains Edvard Greig's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Hugo Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody and Jean Sibelius' Valse Triste.

This recording was originally released on Columbia Records, catalogue number MS 6196. As far as I can tell, it has been deleted from the Columbia catalogue and is currently unavailable except as second hand copies of the original vinyl LPs.

The audio here was taken from a Canadian pressing of the original Columbia Records vinyl LP.
