The opening movement of this symphony has surely got to be one of the most bracing symphonic movements in existence. The elements sweep in on you from all directions. Also some wonderful key changes.

Probably the best performance of Sibelius 3.

The ending of this symphony is very interesting. Huge relentless buildup and then it just ends.

True...but it's that 2nd Movement that obsesses me.....BRAVO from Mexico City!
