Few composers have enjoyed such critical acclaim – or longevity
– as Jean Sibelius, who died in 1957 aged 91. Always more than
simply a Finnish national figure, an ‘apparition from the
woods’ as he ironically described himself, Sibelius’s life
spanned turbulent and tumultuous events, and his work is central to
the story of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century music.
This book situates Sibelius within a rich interdisciplinary
environment, paying attention to his relationship with
architecture, literature, politics and the visual arts. Drawing on
the latest developments in Sibelius research, it is intended as an
accessible and rewarding introduction for the general reader, and
also offers a fresh and provocative interpretation for those more
familiar with his music.
