Symphony no. 4 / Pohjola’s Daughter / Finlandia

Album by Jean Sibelius & Helsingin kaupunginorkesteri & Leif Segerstam

This release is a compilation of orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, written between 1899 and 1911. The music blends late-Romantic and early-modern orchestral language with prominent brass and string colour, folk‑influenced motifs, evolving chromaticism and a move from overtly nationalistic tone-poem writing toward a more austere, concentrated symphonic approach, marking a transitional period in Sibelius's career and in Finnish musical history.
First released: March 2005
