Two First Symphonies

There really isn't much for me to say about this particular BBC Music mag cover disk since both works have already been considered when posting about commercial recordings that I have. For the record, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Joseph Swensen play a respectable performance of Sibelius Symphony No 1 and the Ulster Orchestra under Janos Furst give a perfectly reasonable account of Nielsen's first symphony. It's also of interest to have these two works in close proximity for comparison purposes. Both are live concert recordings.
