Symphony no. 2 in D / Scene with Cranes from "Kuolema"
Album by Jean Sibelius & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & Simon Rattle
This album is a recording of orchestral works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, comprising pieces composed in 1902–1903. It juxtaposes late-Romantic, richly textured symphonic writing with a sombre, evocative orchestral scene from his incidental music, reflecting Sibelius's shift toward more concentrated thematic economy and national Romantic expression in the early 1900s.
First released: 1984
