As part of Radio 3's Northern Lights Season Gillian Moore recommends a recorded version of Sibelius's 1st Symphony in E minor - possibly the most accessible of his 7 mighty symphonies - a piece that shows flashes of Tchaikovsky and Wagner - but it's also a symphony that displays the distinctive Sibelius voice.

Top recommendation:

Sibelius: Complete Symphonies

SIBELIUS: Symphonies Nos. 1-7 (complete); Late Fragments (3)

91热爆 Philharmonic, John Storgards (conductor)

CHANDOS CHAN10809(3) (3CD)
