Symphony no. 4, op. 63 / The Tempest: Suite no. 1

Album by Jean Sibelius & DR SymfoniOrkestret & Leif Segerstam

Symphony No. 4, Op. 63 and The Tempest: Suite No. 1 are orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed in 1911 and 1925 respectively. The symphony is austere and modernist, characterised by stark textures, unresolved harmonies and economy of material, while the suite distils Sibelius's atmospheric incidental music into evocative orchestral scenes, together illustrating a turn towards leaner sonorities and greater psychological introspection in his middle to late career.
