Symphony no. 3 in C major, op. 52, Karelia suite, op. 11 & Finlandia, op. 26

Album by Jean Sibelius & 山形交響楽団 & Chiaki Murakawa

Symphony No. 3 in C major, Op. 52, the Karelia Suite, Op. 11, and Finlandia, Op. 26 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed between 1893 and 1907. Musically they trace Sibelius's movement from nationalist tone-poems to a more economical and symphonic language, characterised by modal folk-influenced melodies, bold orchestral colours and concise structural development that mark a pivotal phase in his career and in early 20th-century orchestral music.
