Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

The incidental music for The Tempest, the tone poem Tapiola and the Seventh Symphony were Sibelius' last significant compositions. Possibly the most ambitious and extraordinary symphonies in the repertoire - a work of great confidence and affirmation - the Seventh is more a sort of giant rondo. Comprising one seamless flow of thematic development it builds from a few melodic scraps towards a final upward sweep and trombone hymn that seems to reach out to infinity.
