Review
'There are so many points of interest between these covers … this is essential reading for Sibelians, a magnificent and illuminating volume - and congratulations are in order on the elegant appearance of the volume and its eminently moderate price.' International Record Review
'This superb, immaculately produced Cambridge Companion, with dozens of music examples, is among the best in the series and may be confidently recommended as essential reading.' Classical Music
'… a series of first-class essays on an admirably wide range of topics … for Sibelius buffs it's absolutely fascinating: packed with new ways of looking at things, and containing a fair few surprises.' The Musical Times

Product Description
Jean Sibelius has gradually emerged as one of the most striking and influential figures in twentieth-century music, yet his work is only just beginning to receive the critical attention that its importance deserves. This Companion provides an accessible and vivid account of Sibelius’s work in its historical and cultural context. Leading international scholars, from Finland, the United States and the UK, examine Sibelius’s music from a range of critical perspectives, including nationalism, eroticism and the exotic, music and landscape, reception and musical influence. There are also chapters on recording and interpretation that offer fascinating insights into the performance of Sibelius’s work. The book includes much new material, drawing on recent scholarship, as well as providing a comprehensive introduction to Sibelius’s major musical achievements.
