Symphonies 1-7

Album by Jean Sibelius & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Sixten Ehrling

Symphonies Nos. 1–7 is the complete cycle of symphonies by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed between 1899 and 1924. The cycle traverses late-Romantic and early-modern orchestral territory, characterised by modal and folk-influenced material, evolving symphonic structures and distinctive orchestral colour that chart Sibelius's progression from national romantic beginnings to a more taut, individualised approach to symphonic form.
