For anyone who liked his recent Proms performance of the 6th:
I've just downloaded it from Qobuz - too early to have come to a considered opinion, other than that the recording of the 5th (Helsinki Music Centre) is a bit warmer than that of the 6th (Finlandia Hall). The latter recording sounds a bit flat to me but as my usual 'listen' in this symphony (a favourite of mine) is Kitaenko - see JLW's various comments elsewhere about the very fine quality of the recording - my ears may be a bit skewed.
