One of Finland's great national treasures, Sibelius (1865-1957)
represents a fascinating paradox in 20th-century music. While a latter-day
romantic who remained aloof from modernist stylistic currents, Sibelius
nevertheless developed a supremely original voice, above all in his contributions
to the symphonic tradition. His austerely beautiful compositions express
a characteristic love of nature. Here
are his essential recordings.
