Symphony No. 2 / Swan of Tuonela / Finlandia

Album by Jean Sibelius & NBC Symphony Orchestra & Arturo Toscanini

This release is a collection of orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, comprising pieces composed between 1895 and 1902. The music is late-Romantic and national-Romantic in style, characterised by expansive symphonic writing, prominent brass and string textures, modal and folk-influenced melodic material, and vivid orchestral colour, and it occupies a key place in Sibelius's development towards his mature orchestral voice and in the emergence of Finnish national music.
