Jean Sibelius - Sibelius Edition, Vol. 6 - Violin and Piano

Finland's Jean Sibelius is perhaps the most important composer associated with nationalism in music and one of the most influential in the development of the symphony and symphonic poem. But he wrote also a lot of chamber music. This 6th volume of the complete BIS-edition of his works concentrates on works for Violin and Piano.
