Mat, Were they done by Vanska and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, or the Copenhagen Philharmonic, perhaps?

Indeed, they were all done by Vanska, but this time with Lahti Symphony Orchestra.

A night with Sibelius:

Allegro Appassionato in C Sharp Minor, JS 131
String Quartet in A Minor, JS 138
String Quartet Voces Intimae, op. 56. The last bars of the final movement sent solid shivers down my spine.

All performed by Tempera Quartet.

Canadian classical music, a cassette made by a solo native "flutist", playing traditional themes on a self-made instrument.
He must have spent more time working to pay for making a studio recording and doing the artwork, than practicing.
I tossed the paper into recycling and kept the case to replace a worse one.
That doesn't matter. When it comes to taking a big dive, I'll still yell "Geronimo".

Gustav Mahler--Symphony No.1 in D Major {"Titan"} and Symphony No.5 in C-Sharp Minor, both performed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under the wand of Leonard Bernstein.

Edit:
The Mahler 5th is actually performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, though still led by Maestro Bernstein.
