Complete description

“It is hard to depart from life when the nature is so incredibly beautiful!” (Jean Sibelius).

 

The surrounding nature always formed an integral source of inspiration for Finland’s ‘national composer’ Jean Sibelius. In his youth the composer imagined birds as various instruments of the orchestra, but also in his mature compositions the element of nature is very much present. When Sibelius moved to his home, Ainola, in 1904 – a place where he was to live and compose until his death in 1957 – his only request was a view to the lake nearby. As Sibelius’ biographer wrote: “When Sibelius first left Helsinki, Järvenpää [where Ainola is located] was to a large extent untouched countryside. Foals and sheep almost nosed their way into the house, and from time to time an elk majestically bestrode the grounds.” This peaceful environment inspired Sibelius to write the main part of his catalogue of works.

 

Sibelius’ had the unique skill of hearing colours that he saw as music. For Sibelius, D Major meant sunshine in music. For this very reason, this 140-minute long programme of Sibelius’ summer music ends with the popular 2nd Symphony in D Major.
