The Best of Sibelius (CD)

$9.95

Other than the Symphonies and the Violin Concerto, these works represent some of Sibelius’ most popular orchestral pieces – and some of their finest performances. The "Finlandia" is truly epic and searing, the "Valse triste" ethereal, and the "Four Legends" (which includes the famous "Swan of Tunonela") in turn ethereal and commanding.
