Emotional & Aesthetic Impact

The 2003 recording was originally released as a (Super Audio CD) on the orchestra’s own label, SFS Media .

MTT contributed a spoken “Keeping Score” documentary alongside this recording, but his musical choices speak louder. He reinstated specific phrasing marks and dynamic shifts often ignored in the 1960s-80s recordings. For example, the sleigh bells in the first movement aren't just festive jingles; under MTT, they are precise, metallic pricks of light.
