		Among his many notable compositions are his 12 symphonic poems, two (completed) piano concerti, several sacred choral works, and a great variety of solo piano pieces.

	realmud garden: kalevala & berbere
		Examples of Sibelius' work based on Kalevala, could include: Kullervo, a Symphonic Poem for Soprano, Baritone, Male Chorus and Orchestra, Op.7 (reviewed here in a madcap, passionate style by The Flying Inkpot), Luonnotar, op.70, The Swan of Tuonela and Lemminkäinen's Return from Four Legends, op.22.
		As far as nationalistic anthems go, Finlandia's hymn (Finlandia, op.26) in the middle, always brings me to tears.
		One of the most famous Finnish artists to use Kalevala as his inspiration is Akseli Gallan-Kallela.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Sibelius: Shorter Orchestral Works
		The Oceanides (that haunting Mediterranean seascape from 1914--and the only symphonic poem by Sibelius not to have a Finnish inspiration) is given a masterly, meticulously etched reading, while the indestructible Finlandia glowers intimidatingly, the LSO's superb brass section audibly revelling in Sibelius's darkly defiant scoring.
		The performances feature the lush romanticism of Sibelius work but without exaggerating the tempi or balance of the orchestra.
		This is a very nice recording of some of Sibelius' shorter orchestral works.

	Amazon.co.uk: Jean Sibelius (20th-century Composers S.): Books
		Known primarily as a symphonist, the "Violin Concerto" and some smaller works such as the symphonic poem "Finlandia" have also become staples of the orchestral repertoire.
		Sibelius himself became increasingly selective about details of his life, not least his creative output in the last three decades of his life, when he released very few new works.
		Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) is regarded with Edvard Grieg as the most prominent composer to have emerged from Northern Europe.
