    Content: A moving documentary portrait of Sibelius, as seen through the lens of his seven symphonies, reveals the impact of multiple factors on the composer's identity and artistic output: the circumstances of his family life, his relationship with alcohol, the political-historical climate that shaped him, and--of course--the dizzying stylistic and philosophical evolution of music to which he contributed uniquely and definitively with an expansive and indispensable symphonic corpus. Drawing upon all the elements of the composer's complex personal and social context, Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu traces an incisive portrait of his compatriot and offers thought-provoking insight into the intent and meaning of Sibelius's seven symphonies

    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! April 21, 1915. Sibelius writes: "Today at ten to eleven I saw 16 swans. One of my greatest experiences! Lord God, what beauty! They circled over me for a long time. Disappeared into the solar haze like a gleaming silver ribbon. Their call the same woodwind type as that of cranes, but without tremolo. The swan-call closer to the trumpet ... A low refrain reminiscent of a small child crying. Nature's mysticism and life's angst! The Fifth Symphony's finale theme: legato in the trumpets!" After a Fourth Symphony that responded to twentieth century modernism with daring dissonance, Sibelius seemed to embrace tonality anew in the incontestably expressive and majestic Fifth, one of his crowning achievements: among the work's avowed abstraction, tonality resounds in heart-rending motifs, soaring melodic lines, and the stirring brass choir that bookends the piece, a musical manifestation of the swan sighting that had so moved him months earlier. The work was commissioned by the Finnish government to celebrate the composer's 50th birthday, marking it as a national holiday, and underwent a couple revisions over the next four years before finding its definitive form in 1919

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 4 in A Minor, op. 63
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! Due to the historical context of its genesis--as well as its stormy intensity--Sibelius's Fourth Symphony in A Minor, premiered in 1911, has long been associated the phenomenon of psychoanalysis. The composer himself came to refer to the work as "a psychological symphony," and his own brother Christian Sibelius (a psychiatrist) introduced the discipline to Finland. At the same time, though unsettled by the burgeoning atonal movement in Europe, the composer nonetheless seems intent on pushing tonality to its very limits, making the most of recurrent dissonance. For some, Sibelius consciously reflects the tension that would soon erupt into a war of cataclysmic proportions. Others read a deeper psychological meaning into the expressive depth of the work, seeing in it the composer's ever-present fear of cancer, for which he had recently been treated and which he was convinced would return

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 3 in C Major, op. 52
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! An apparent structural simplicity--perhaps a reaction to the bombast and opulence of great works by Mahler and Strauss resonating in Europe's concert halls at the same time (1907)--is the fertile soil in which Sibelius's Third Symphony grows, a contrast with his own first two symphonies, exultantly nationalistic and ultra-romantic. Considered a somewhat "classical" work, this symphony in three movements already shows signs of the boldly expressive side of Sibelius that would shape his remaining symphonies. According to Fabian Dahlström and James Hepokoski (Grove Music Online), "the anti-monumental Third compensates through a further gain in compositional discipline" in which "Sibelius grasped more clearly the artistic project that would dominate his later compositions: to give the impression that his reiterative, uncommonly concentrated language sought to draw out the hidden secrets of sound itself, to free an ontological truth from sound's acoustic materiality."

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 2 in D Major, op. 43
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! "My symphonies are music conceived and worked out solely in terms of music," said Jean Sibelius about a genre to which he contributed seven masterpieces, "with no literary basis ... a symphony should be music first and last." Written almost immediately after the First and inspired by a brief and inspiring sojourn in Italy, the optimistic Second Symphony (1902) navigates an ocean of motifs and themes that recur and disperse throughout the work, pushing up against the limits of the paradigmatic four-movement symphonic structure. The thrilling result is a late triumph in a genre that was increasingly left behind as bold experiments by composers like Stravinsky, Debussy, and Schoenberg would come to alter the course of music history

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 6 in D minor, op. 104
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! "Whereas most other modern composers are engaged in manufacturing cocktails of every hue and description," said Sibelius of his Sixth Symphony, "I offer the public pure spring water." Following the more dissonant Fourth and the Fifth's more tonal bent, the Sixth--several years in the making--shows the irrepressible creativity of Sibelius, this time in terms of tone and mode. Two vast modal soundscapes (D Dorian and C major, which use the same pitches but to remarkably different effect) meet and disband, weaving their threads around one another and creating a deliciously ambivalent atmosphere. At points, the work's singular use of melody almost recalls the ancient music of Palestrina and Monteverdi that Sibelius studied in his youth. In the course of its composition, this score may have been shaped by several important events in the composer's life: the end of World War I; Finland's declaration of independence from Russia and a subsequent civil war; Sibelius's deepening nationalist stance and involvement in the debate over Finland's national language; his relapse into alcoholism; the shaved head that radically altered his appearance; his growing reputation as a musical intellectual with strong ideas and a certain eccentricity--he once conducted the Sixth, totally drunk, in Göteborg--as well as financial and marital problems. If any or all of these factors heightened the drama of the work, it is evident that none of them prevented it from achieving monumental cohesion

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 7 in C Major, op. 105
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! Sibelius's final, genre-breaking, sublimely idiosyncratic final symphony was born in troubled waters. Confronted by his wife Aino about his alcoholism, suffering from depression and artistic uncertainty, Sibelius confessed in his diary: "Alcohol, which I gave up, is now my most faithful companion. And the most understanding! Everything and everyone else have largely failed me ..." Written in a single uninterrupted movement, Sibelius's Seventh is a masterpiece of form and unity, deploying bold themes and motifs in C major and C minor, then ingeniously varying tempo and instrumentation to make them transform, combine, and clash. The end result condenses an entire symphonic universe into the least traditional--and the most delightfully unclassifiable--of his seven symphonies. It is a fearlessly audacious statement of Sibelius's identity: a Finnish composer whose gifts always transcended the boundaries of nations

    Uniform Title: Symphony No. 1 in E minor, op. 39
    Content: Finnish maestro Hannu Lintu presents and conducts the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in all seven bold and unique symphonies by their celebrated compatriot Jean Sibelius! Sibelius's First Symphony is "music of a young giant, full of a fiery love for his country and flaming defiance against its oppressors," according to conductor Simon Parmet. On the brink of a new century, and amid a tense political situation between Finland and Russia, this symphony was premiered in 1899 and revised into its definitive version in 1900--a difficult moment in the composer's life, due to the death of his infant daughter. The work demonstrates the Romantic influence of Brahms and Tchaikovsky, suffused with the volcanic, irrepressible force of a highly personal new language--a combination that met with international success, playing to acclaim in cities like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin, and Paris. Nationalist melodies are developed within the composer's bold and distinctive idiom, heroic and lyrical even in his very first contribution to the symphonic genre
