Scenes Historiques, Op. 25

II. Scena
III. Festivo

Composer: Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)
Orchestra: Gothenburg Radio Orchestra

Ainola stands on the scenic shores of Lake Tuusula in Järvenpää, about 30 minutes drive from the Finnish capital, Helsinki. It was the home of Jean Sibelius and his family from 1904. This timber-built villa was designed by the famous Finnish architect Lars Sonck. Its distance from the hustle and bustle of the nation's capital gave the composer the peace that he needed for his creative endeavours, while other artistic families living in the neighbourhood provided a lively social circle.

More American groups should learn and perform early Sibelius works, vocal as well as instrumental
