Recorded: 1990, 1986, 1987 and 1988, Vienna's Musikverein, Wien
In the mid 1980s, Unitel began recording a complete cycle of Sibelius symphonies with Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic. Bernstein's death in 1990 unfortuantely cut short this project after the release of Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 7. Recorded live at Vienna's Musikverein, these ecstatic performances were the object of stellar reviews. On this double-disc set, Bernstein's unique and by now legendary interpretations of Sibelius are released for the first time on DVD.
