Recorded by Finlandia and first issued in 1993, this enterprising collection of smaller scale and lesser known pieces by Sibelius is notable above all for a spectacularly fine recording. The ambience of the Kaustinen Church is just right for string music, and since Sibelius always writes so wonderfully for strings.
