I’ve always liked the stark, sparing quality of Sibelius’ later orchestral music, particularly his 7th symphony. It’s a shame that he burned his 8th symphony and barely wrote a single note for the last 30 years of his life.

Have ‘em all and love them. The Finnish wife, of course, agrees.

Other than the Karelia Suite, which I like, I am not familiar with his other works.

Sibelius, one of my favorites along with Mendelssohn and others.
