"Bernstein, unsurprisingly, takes [Sibelius] on a journey of his own...Against the odds, the result is a totally memorable interpretation operating at a higher voltage than almost any other. We can observe now how much the orchestra's intensity and commitment delights the man on the rostrum" (Gramophone)
"These are among the very finest DVD recordings Leonard Bernstein made in America and Europe to climax his career." (Penguin Guide)
