Symphony no. 2

Album by Jean Sibelius & London Symphony Orchestra & Pierre Monteux

Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed in 1902. Marking a move towards a more individual voice, it employs lush late-Romantic orchestration, cyclical thematic development and stark contrasts of mood that blend late-Romantic and proto-modern elements and occupies a pivotal place in Sibelius's output and in the early 20th-century symphonic repertoire.
