Symphony No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 82

Available for over a year

The natural world was a continual source of inspiration to Sibelius. The experience of seeing 16 swans fly overhead made a lasting impression, resulting in the noble melody of the last movement, a journey which meanders its way through multiple emotions before leading to the glorious ending. Composer: Jean Sibelius Performer: BBC National Orchestra of Wales Conductor: Thomas Søndergård Recording date: 12 August 2014 Date of broadcast: 21 August 2014
