Product Description

Review
"Andrew Barnett is unfailingly perceptive and has the ability to engage the interest of both the less informed and the more expert reader. Few would be better qualified to undertake a new book on the Finnish master."-Robert Layton, author of Sibelius (Master Musicians Series)

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.
