Symphony no. 2

Album by Jean Sibelius & London Symphony Orchestra & Loris Tjeknavorian

Symphony No. 2 in D major is the second symphony by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed and first performed in 1902. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration with Nordic melodic and rhythmic elements, featuring expansive thematic development, prominent brass and string writing and marked dynamic contrasts, and represents a key consolidation of Sibelius's symphonic style in the early 20th century.
First released: 1982
