Symphony no. 5 / Pohjola’s Daughter

Album by Jean Sibelius & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

This release is an album of orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, comprising a late symphony completed in 1915 and an earlier orchestral tone poem completed in 1906. Both pieces sit within the late-Romantic and early 20th-century Finnish nationalist tradition, featuring expansive orchestral textures, prominent brass and winds, and sweeping string writing that blend symphonic structure with evocative, folk-tinged motifs, and they occupy a position in Sibelius's career where he crystallised his mature compositional voice.
