| | Jean Sibelius - Psychology Central |
 | | Jean Sibelius (December 8, 1865 – September 20, 1957) was a Finnish composer of classical music; he also studied the violin as a young man. Together with the work of Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Sibelius' music is synonymous with Finnish national identity. | | | Jean Sibelius was part of a wave of composers who accepted the norms of late 19th century composition, but sought to radically simplify the internal construction of the music. | | | Sibelius has fallen in and out of fashion, but remains one of the most popular 20th century symphonists, with complete cycles of his symphonies continuing to be recorded. |

| | Sibelius — Finland's voice in the world — Virtual Finland |
| | It was this symphony, first performed in 1892, that put Sibelius on the musical map in his own country and that alerted the world to the presence of a new voice in music. | | | For us, the musicians, Sibelius has emerged as a huge figure, who says things which we have forgotten to listen to in ourselves, or that we are too frightened to listen to. | | | One could say that Sibelius belonged to the last generation before (what one might call) the urbanisation of music, for which Nature was a central source of inspiration: Delius, Bartók, Debussy and Janácek. |

| | The Solo Songs of Jean Sibelius |
| | Above all, Sibelius was deeply inspired by the lyric nature poetry of J. Runeberg; some of Sibelius's finest songs are to the texts of Runeberg. | | | Sibelius produced his song literature in a time span of about 27 years. | | | Among the nearly 150 vocal pieces that Sibelius composed, there are, indeed, certain pearls in the art of song, and they deserve closer examination and familiarization on the part of the foreign audiences. |

| | Jean Sibelius — Virtual Finland |
| | Other national treasures left by the great composer include the music Sibelius based on well known works of the theatre, such as King Kristian II, Death, Pelleas and Melisande and The Tempest as well as his numerous works for the piano and violin, his musical settings of poetry, his choral works and songs. | | | His Kullervo Symphony, completed in 1892, started the period when much Finnish music was based on the legends of the national epic, The Kalevala. | | | The core of his musical output, which was diverse and stylistically original, were his orchestral works, notably his seven symphonies written between 1899 and 1924, and symphonic poems such as the four-part Lemminkäinen series, Pohjola's Daughter and Tapiola. |

| | Despite rumours of an eight symphony, Sibelius lived out his remaining 30 years in musical silence. | | | Many reasons have been suggested for this, his drinking and disillusionment with modern music being most often cited. | | | The fifth Symphony, his most popular, was composed during World War I. Heroic in mood, it is easily accessible and contains some of the most colourful music he ever wrote. |

| | The long silence of his final 30 years is shown to have been bound up with the composition of his Eighth Symphony, which he ultimately destroyed. | | | Known primarily as a symphonist, the "Violin Concerto" and some smaller works such as the symphonic poem "Finlandia" have also become staples of the orchestral repertoire. | | | Sibelius himself became increasingly selective about details of his life, not least his creative output in the last three decades of his life, when he released very few new works. |

| | Sibelius is best-remembered as the composer of a series of seven magnificent symphonies, one of the finest symphonic cycles by any composer of the twentieth-century but, in addition to his larger works, Sibelius also wrote a number of shorter, popular orchestral and chamber works. | | | Before deciding to become a composer, however, Sibelius was intent on pursuing a career as a virtuoso violinist, and amongst his large output, as well as a magnificent Concerto, we can find several short works for the violin. |

| | INKPOT#46 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Book Review "Jean Sibelius" by Guy Rickards (Phaidon) |
| | Sibelius recounted that at the moment he finished the final version of the Fifth Symphony (which he revised four times in four years), twelve white swans settled on the lake (outside his house), and then circled the house three times before flying off - spine-tingling stuff. | | | Other classical music reviews by this or any other writer can be obtained from the InkVault by doing a key word search with the writer's name. | | | Rickards does not talk so much about Sibelius's music (which to the unfamiliar reader, would perhaps be a flaw in the book), but writes 'around' them, showing the reader the overall environment which surrounds Sibelius and his works. |
