Jean Sibelius. Hilary Finch considers some of the historic and pioneering recordings of the music of Sibelius in the BBC archives, all of which were made in the composer's own lifetime. The programme includes a performance of the seventh symphony given by Thomas Beecham in the 1950s, and an interview with Sibelius himself.
Sibelius is featured in the new series of BBC Legends CDs available in shops now.
