This is a mess. Young Finnish budding superstar conductor Klaus Mäkelä, on evidence here, simply has no business making a complete Sibelius cycle at this stage in his career, and Decca was foolish to let him. The evidence is all over these hapless performances: the skewed balances, underwhelming climaxes, disastrous endings, italicized phrasing and shaping of larger sections--it's just plain bad.
