◆本CDについて◆
ジョン・バルビローリ指揮ハレ管弦楽団によるシベリウス交響曲全集＋管弦楽作品集ボックスセット（ワーナー・クラシックス）。
紙製スリーブ入CD6枚とブックレットが正方形のワンピース貼箱に入っています。
ブックレット（全12頁）にトラックリスト＆クレジット、Michael Kennedyによる解説「Barbirolli and Sibelius」とその独・仏訳、写真図版（モノクロ）1点、「Also available」CD写真図版（カラー）4点。紙製スリーブ裏にトラックリスト＆クレジット。
CD 1～4、6はオリジナルLPと同一収録内容で、紙製スリーブの表紙デザインもオリジナルLPのものを使用しています。CD 5はオリジナルLP（Symphony No. 4／Rakastava／Romanceを収録）にコンピレーションLP（Scènes Historiques（抜粋）／Pelléas & Mélisande（抜粋）／The Swan of Tuonela／Rakastavaを収録）から重複分（The Swan of Tounela／Pelleas & MélisandeからAt the Castle Gate、Mélisande、The Death of Melisande／Rakastava）を除いた4曲を追加収録しています。
廉価盤なので楽曲解説等はないですが、リマスターなので音はよいです。シベリウスなので夏でもひんやりしてよいです。
