Symphonies nos. 1 and 3

Album by Jean Sibelius & New Zealand Symphony Orchestra & Pietari Inkinen

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed in 1899 and 1907 respectively. Rooted in late-Romantic orchestral practice, they combine rich orchestral colour and thematic transformation, with the First exemplifying expansive dramatic development and the Third signalling a move towards greater concision and formal economy that anticipates aspects of Sibelius's later, more streamlined style.
