Yes  I just got this 2CD set last month and have been listening to it with my Sibelius collection... what wonderful but Unsung material.  wonderful recording on Ondine.

I enjoy it as well, though I do wish the tracks were broken up a bit more.

I don't have this CD, but I remember attending the 2019 January concert in Helsinki where they played the movie on a screen in the concert hall with a live orchestra performing the music, with Jaakko Kuusisto conducting as well. I was suddenly envious of the early 1920-30s audiences getting to enjoy their movies in that fashion.
