Summary: "Three Scandinavian Symphonies" Jean Sibelius wrote seven symphonies; and his Third Symphony represents a turning point in Sibelius's symphonic output. His First and Second symphonies are grandiose Romantic and patriotic works.

The Sibelius is flanked by a pair of symphonies by the early-romantic Swedish composer Franz Berwald.
