Composer of the Week:Sibelius - the Path to the Symphony

on BBC Radio 3

2/5. 1894-5. Sibelius's first operatic project, The Building of the Boat, sank without trace and a piano sonata proved to be another dead end. But a piece of choral hack-work, a tone-poem Sibelius suppressed and a part-song he later rewrote filled the gap. With Donald Macleod. Repeated from Tuesday at 12 noon
