Sibelius matured as a composer in a period characterized by the powerful emergence of Finnish nationalism. His family was Swedish-speaking, but he attended a Finnishspeaking secondary school and became acquainted with the mythology of the Kalevala and with Finnish-language literature. He studied at the Helsinki Music Institute and went on to study in Berlin and Vienna. Sibelius’s works from the 1890s are very Finnish in tone, but during the first decade of the 20th century he began to turn towards a more international and classical idiom. In recognition of his importance as a national cultural figure, he was granted a small government pension, although this was more of symbolic importance than a significant contribution to his income.

In 1904, Sibelius moved to the village of Järvenpää, to a villa named Ainola after his wife Aino. He continued to travel, however, visiting major centres of music in Europe such as Berlin, Paris and London, thus keeping in touch with recent developments in music. Sibelius’s output culminated in the great masterworks of the early 1920s. After 1926 he published no more major works; the famous ‘silence of Järvenpää’ lasted for over 30 years.
The film Sibelius tells the unique story of Jean Sibelius. The story of his life, of his love and of the music that changed history. Serving as a framework to the film’s story is the ageing Jean Sibelius, reflecting upon his life in the silence of his home, Ainola. The story starts with the early childhood of the composer, who lost his father when he was only two.
The film follows the young Sibelius and his exciting student years first in Helsinki, then in Berlin and Vienna. The young composer is almost constantly penniless, but is rich in ideas.
He falls in love with Aino Järnefelt, the daughter of a Finnish general, and they secretly get engaged. Later they marry and start a family. During this time, Finland lives under the domination of Russia, and the growing nationalistic sentiments of the Finnish people are suppressed. Following the death of his youngest daughter Kirsti, Sibelius takes his family to Rapallo in Italy, and there he finds inspiration for his Second Symphony.
Shortly after the Russian revolution, Finland becomes independent. The aged Sibelius fights alone with the notes as he tries to compose his Eighth Symphony. The world is waiting for the new masterpiece, but work has become difficult. Sibelius withdraws from the world and finally throws his last symphony into fire. Aino, a strong and brave woman, stays beside her husband till the end. one day in the autumn of 1957 a flock of cranes comes to carry Jean Sibelius out of this world and slowly they disappear towards the horizon.

When the makers of the Finnish film Sibelius went searching for the recordings which make up the soundtrack, it was perfectly natural that they ended up contacting BIS Records. For, even though it is a Swedish company, BIS has since its beginnings in 1973 been dedicated to the music of the Finnish master, going to great lengths to make his works available to a worldwide audience. At present the BIS catalogue includes more than 60 CDs of the music of Sibelius, many of them collaborations with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra and Osmo Vänskä – a partnership which has received great acclaim in reviews all over the world. BIS is now approaching the end of one of the great recording projects in history – the complete edition of Sibelius works on CD. The edition will consist of some 70 CDs and is planned for completion in 2007, the fiftieth anniversary of the composer’s death.
If you enjoyed the music on this disc, you will want to experience ‘Rondo of the Waves’ (BIS-CD-1445) including The Oceanides, Cassazione and Spring Song performed by the Lahti Symphony Orchestra and Osmo Vänskä ‘Everything on this beautifully recorded disc is delivered with affection and beautifully sprung rhythms by the Sibelius orchestra and conductor of the moment.’ International Record Review

The STORYLINE of SIBELIUS
The movie tells the unique story of Jean Sibelius. It is a life story, a love story and a story about the music that changed history.
The frame story is built on the rememberings of the aged Sibelius in the silence of his home "Ainola". The story begins from the early childhood of the composer, who looses his father at the age of two.
The movie follows the young Sibelius and his colourful study years in Helsinki, Berlin and Vienna.
The young composer is almost constantly penniless but he is rich of ideas. Sibelius falls in love with Aino Järnefelt, the sister of his fellow student and they get romantically engaged in secrecy. Later they marry and several children are born into his family.
Finland lives under the pressure of Russia, who tries to suppress the nationalistic mood of the Finnish people. The Russians forbid any kind of performance of "Finlandia" by Sibelius. Therefore he has to perform it under assumed names in concerts.
To ease the pain after the loss of the youngest daughter, Sibelius takes his family to Rapallo in Italy and there he finds the inspiration to his second symphony.
When time of the revolution finally comes in Russia, Finland gains her independence. Little earlier Sibelius has written a song for the Finnish soldiers called "The Jaeger March". This song is too much for the communists, who put Sibelius on the blacklist.
The aged Sibelius fights alone against the notes as he tries to compose his eighth symphony.
The world is waiting for the new masterpiece, but working is not so easy anymore. He withdraws from the world and finally he throws his last symphony into fire. Aino, that strong and brave woman, stays beside her husband till the end.
One day in autumn a block of cranes comes to carry Jean Sibelius out of this world and slowly they disappear to the horizon.
