The Tempest, op. 109
Album by Jean Sibelius & Sinfonia Lahti & Lahti Opera Chorus & Osmo Vänskä
The Tempest, Op. 109 is incidental music by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1925. The score employs late-Romantic orchestral colours, modal Nordic harmonies and evocative tone-painting to conjure maritime storms and theatrical atmosphere, and it represents one of Sibelius's late-career contributions to theatre music that reflects his increasingly economical, textural approach to orchestration.
