Reader Reviews:
A thoroughly readable work of scholarship (5/6 people found this helpful)
As far as I know, this is the first book which covers (in fascinating detail) virtually every known composition by the Finnish master. As such it makes an excellent companion to The Sibelius Edition, a multibox CD-anthology of gargantuan proportions which is now approaching completion.
The biographical angle is also well covered by Mr Barnett and includes many interesting facts and anecdotes that I've personally not come across elsewhere.
Whether you want to read from cover to cover or dip in at will to hunt for specific information, this impressive and dedicated work of scholarship is a valuable and thoroughly readable 'must' for anyone with an enthusiasm for the music of Jean Sibelius.
