Composer of the Week - Sibelius - The Rest is Silence? (The Years 1925-1957) - Episode 5

Donald Macleod explores the mythology cloaking the last decades of Sibelius' life. He introduces a series of curious arrangements the composer made in his ninth and tenth decades, including a hymn for girl scouts. Plus a work that brings Sibelius' life and career full circle - his late revision of part of Kullervo, originally written as a young hopeful, some 60 years earlier.
