The backbone of the present installment of the Sibelius Edition is made up of three previously released discs, but it also includes more than two discs’ worth of recordings that have not been released before, including a number of world premières. Apart from student compositions and youthful pieces, the program also contains some of Sibelius’s most well-known piano works, such as the Romance in D flat major (Op. 24), Six impromptus and Sonata in F major. Of special interest are also the pieces which relate to other genres in Sibelius’s output, such as a preliminary sketch for the slow movement of Symphony No.1, as well as the composer’s own transcriptions of some of his most well-loved works, including Valse triste and Finlandia.
