This week’s broadcast is dedicated to the music of the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, who lived from 1865 to 1957. We hope you’ll enjoy this sojourn through some of his greatest works, including the Violin Concerto, the Symphony No. 2, and some miniatures. Zubin Mehta, Leonard Bernstein, Sir Thomas Beecham, and Lorin Maazel share conducting duties.
