Symphonies 1-7

Album by Jean Sibelius & Berliner Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle

Symphonies Nos. 1–7 are the seven symphonies by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed between 1899 and 1924. They trace a progression from late-Romantic roots to a more condensed, early-modern orchestral language characterised by economical thematic development, evocative orchestration and a distinct Nordic sound, and they occupy a central place in Sibelius's orchestral oeuvre and in early 20th-century symphonic repertoire.
