Symphonies nos. 1 & 4

Album by Jean Sibelius & Minnesota Orchestra & Osmo Vänskä

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 4 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1899 and 1911 respectively. The First Symphony features expansive late-Romantic orchestration and sweeping thematic writing while the Fourth is notable for its austerity, dissonant harmonies and economy of material, together illustrating Sibelius's stylistic development and their place in early 20th-century symphonic music.
