Symphonies nos. 3 & 4

Album by Jean Sibelius & Slovenská filharmónia & Adrian Leaper

Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 are the third and fourth symphonies by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1907 and 1911 respectively. They mark Sibelius's movement away from late-Romantic largesse towards a more concise, economical orchestral language, with the Third characterised by clearer classical balances and diatonic textures and the Fourth by spare, often dissonant sonorities and taut motivic development that point towards modernist tendencies in his later output.
