Sibelius: Cortège. 'A nicely turned characteristic Sibelian melody written with some tribute to Tchaikovsky surely in mind, is underpinned by an ‘oompah’ brass ostinato' (Music Web).

They are most unlikely to be disappointed for this disc contains some vintage Sibelius'; Gramophone: outstanding; BBC Music Magazine: outstanding: Penguin Guide 3 stars, outstanding.
