Symphony no. 2
Album by Jean Sibelius & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson
Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by Johan Julius Christian Sibelius, completed and premiered in 1902. The work sits within the late-Romantic orchestral tradition, characterised by expansive motifs, bold brass writing and shifting textures that trace a dramatic arc from sombre opening material to a broadly affirmative close, representing a consolidation of Sibelius's mature symphonic voice following his earlier compositions.
First released: June 1991
