Sibelius’ Symphony No 2 marked a major step in the composer's development, and with its nationalist themes remains one of his most popular works. It is here performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Conductor Thomas Søndergård, their first recording together. The vast span of the single-movement Symphony No 7 completes a thrilling programme.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
