1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950) - "This set is a convenient way of collecting Karajan's splendid DG performances of Sibelius's last four symponies, including the outstanding version of the Fourth. The Berlin Philharmonic are on their finest form." (Penguin Guide)
"It wasn't just iconic pop music that was produced during the swinging sixties; Karajan's Sibelius recording was another winning product of the era. The recording to own" (ClassicFM on Symphony No 5)
