Yet another classical music recommendations thread...

[Stuart Frazer]

Sibelius is composer of the week on R3, last prog is today at midday but repeated all next week at midnight. Still, a chance to recommend one of my all time favourite discs of song:

Not that sombre but the Nordic lands seem to do melancholy so well.

Does anyone remember, or know what this recommendation was?

Sibelius? If you are looking for bleak and / or melancholic try Symphonies 1 and 4. Good conductors for his symphonies include N. Järvi, Vänskä, Berglund, Boult...

This Sibelius box set offers a lot of bang for buck!
