‘A wide-ranging and enjoyable tour of Sibelius’ music for the theatre.'
– Audiophile Audition (5 stars)
Alongside the great symphonies and tone poems, music for the theatre
played an important rolê in Sibelius's development. From exquisite
nocturnal tranquility to the macabre 'Dance of Life', Belshazzar's
Feast is an exotic tale of seduction and tragedy to which Sibelius
responded with some of his most hauntingly beautiful writing for the
stage. The early Menuetto and lively Cortège were considered good
enough by the composer to be recycled for further stage productions,
while the Overture in E and Scène de Ballet started life as Sibelius's
first attempt at composing a symphony.
