Symphony no. 2 in D, op. 43 / Romance in C for String Orchestra, op. 42

Album by Jean Sibelius & Göteborgs Symfoniker & Neeme Järvi

Symphony No. 2 in D, Op. 43 and the Romance in C for String Orchestra, Op. 42 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1902 and 1904 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Sibelius's late-Romantic nationalist idiom, characterised by expansive symphonic architecture, bold harmonic progressions and evolving orchestral colour, with the symphony consolidating his mature symphonic voice while the Romance presents a more intimate, string-centred lyricism within his output.
