Harmonically new, boldly innovative, and structured on a subtle continuity of line, this was a kind of music previously unheard in the concert hall. Austere and intensely concentrated, Sibelius's symphonies of 1907 and 1911 are frequently performed around the world by major orchestras.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"It is hard to think of any music in which the composer is more spontaneous and masterful, and uncompromising in his thought."<br>
