2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jean Sibelius, the towering Finish composer whose music has transcended borders with its extraordinary depth and originality. Upon his very first symphonic attempt (1899/1900), Sibelius composed an instant masterpiece that expresses with striking intensity his deep affection for nature and his country. He followed with six symphonies that were to immortalize one of the greatest composers of his generation.
