Sibelius Orchestral Works: An Owner's Manual [With 2 Full-Length Ondine CDs]

by Jean Sibelius and David Hurwitz

Jean Sibelius was not only Finland's greatest composer, he was one of the most distinctive and appealing musical voices in the first half of the 20th century, especially renowned for his characterful handling of the romantic symphony orchestra. His example has led directly to an unprecedented cultural flowering in his homeland, making this small country of 5 million people a powerhouse in the world of classical music composition and performance.
