Product Description

The Herald, October 6, 2007

'It is bang up to date and, in its riveting biographical study of the complex man, and its unchallenageable assessment of his music, is a book that, for all of us interested in the wonderful, elusive, ambiguous complexities of Sibelius and his music, is immediately indispensible.'


Literary Review, November 2007

'...if an introduction to the composer's work is what you seek, then Andrew Barnett's book will provide as comprehensive a guide as you could hope for.'

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly readable work of scholarship, 8 Dec 2007
By Simon Boswell "author and Sibelius enthusiast" (Karjaa, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As far as I know, this is the first book which covers (in fascinating detail) virtually every known composition by the Finnish master. As such it makes an excellent companion to The Sibelius Edition, a multibox CD-anthology of gargantuan proportions which is now approaching completion.
The biographical angle is also well covered by Mr Barnett and includes many interesting facts and anecdotes that I've personally not come across elsewhere.
Whether you want to read from cover to cover or dip in at will to hunt for specific information, this impressive and dedicated work of scholarship is a valuable and thoroughly readable 'must' for anyone with an enthusiasm for the music of Jean Sibelius.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Music but not the Man, 31 Jul 2009
By K. Lewis (Northamptonshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After seeing a gripping film about Sibelius on TV, I longed for a good biography of this fascinating man. This is not it. The author seems to want to mention every single piece of music that he ever wrote, but the man is missing. You will have to wait for a much better book if you want the story of his fiery youth and his self-inflicted silence in middle age. If you want a boring checklist - this will do.
