SIBELIUS  Symphony No. 7 in C

 

As Sibelius’s symphonic journey drew to a close, it grew ever more remarkable.  His final symphony was something completely different: a single-movement epic of just twenty minutes, a work whose compactness seemed to encapsulate everything the composer had achieved to date.  Sibelius might not have known it, but his Seventh’s big tune – now on a soaring trombone – was his farewell to the symphony.  Preceding that, Chopin’s sparkling second piano concerto, Weber’s sharp-shooting overture and a short piece from John Casken.
