Linn's 3rd recording in our Scottish Chamber Orchestra series exploring Sibelius' better-known incidental scores together with music less often heard vividly presented. "This is an absolutely super Sibelius program containing a well-chosen selection of some of his finest theater music"

(Classics Today).

The foundations of Sibelius抯 reputation are his symphonies, tone poems & increasingly his songs but the music he wrote for the stage throughout his creative life includes some of his finest scores.

This SACD presents his theatre music from 2 distinct periods ?the 1900s (contemporary with his Violin Concerto, & the 2nd & 3rd Symphonies) & the 1920s, including some of the last works of his to survive.

At the time when Sibelius was emerging as a major creative figure, drama was pivotal to the development of cultural & social attitudes in Scandinavia. One need only mention 3 of his contemporaries: Ibsen, Strindberg & Bjornson. Sibelius was attracted to theatre as early as 1893, when he started work on an opera, The Building Of The Boat. It was a visit to Bayreuth that caused him to abandon work on this, but the prelude survived as one of his most perfect pieces: The Swan Of Tuonela. Its striking economy of expression & intensity are characteristics shared by much of his incidental music for the stage. In his stage music, Sibelius tends not so much to accompany dramatic action but to set scenes, create atmosphere or provide a prelude or intermezzo to the action for what were predominantly exotic or mystical dramas.
