Symphony no. 5 / Karelia Suite

Album by Jean Sibelius & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson

Symphony No. 5 and the Karelia Suite are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1915 (Symphony No. 5) and 1893 (Karelia Suite). The Symphony No. 5 features expansive, arching themes, motivic concentration and prominent brass writing that mark a mature phase in Sibelius's output, while the Karelia Suite comprises energetic, nationally influenced movements with bright orchestral colour reflecting his earlier nationalist period.
