Sibelius: "En saga" / "Satu" (1902), Victor de Sabata and the London S.O., 1947 restored

Sibelius composed "En saga" / "Satu" twice: first as a 20-something in 1892, then extensively revised in 1902. The composition soon got noticed with people like Arturo Toscanini and Henry Woods programming it. I repaired this 1947 recording by Victor de Sabata and the London Symphony Orchestra. The sound level was very low in quiet parts there's some effort here by me. This one is still from the "acetate" period. There are very few recordings even today that would match the intensity and instrumental skill with de Sabata getting the musical progression highlighted just the right way.
