BIOGRAFI    

Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was Finland's leading post-Romantic composer of symphonies and a national icon. Beginning as a follower of Richard Strauss, Sibelius achieved fame with his symphonic poems Kullervo and Finlandia, and his early symphonies also gained many supporters. A crisis in 1908 over a throat tumor darkened Sibelius' mood, and music composed after this time bears a brooding character, most notable in the later symphonies and tone poems. Sibelius stopped composing in 1925 and spent his long retirement revising his works and being fêted as a grand old man of classical music. His 90th birthday celebration brought worldwide adulation. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi
