Symphonies 4 & 5

Album by Jean Sibelius & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson

Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed in 1911 and 1915 respectively. They contrast a stark, introspective modernist language with expansive orchestral textures, marking a move towards economy of material and structural concentration in Sibelius's mature period and influencing early 20th-century symphonic repertoire.
