Leonard Bernsteins legendary unfinished Sibelius cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic

Symphonies Nos 1,2, 5 and 7 in definitive recordings

"The philharmonic sound was developed with a late-Romantic splendour that only the true greats can elicit from this orchestra." Salburger Nachrichten (1990)

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 unfortunately 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.

Symphony No. 1 in E minor op. 39

Symphony No.2 in D major op. 43
