The Wood-Nymph

Album by Jean Sibelius & Sinfonia Lahti & Osmo Vänskä & Lasse Pöysti

The Wood-Nymph is a tone poem by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1894. The work employs rich Romantic orchestral textures and folk-influenced melodic material to evoke a supernatural forest spirit, occupying an early place in Sibelius's output that helped pave the way for his later national‑romantic and symphonic writing.
First released: May 1996
