Taking a journey through icy waters and cascading waterfalls, the London Philharmonic present a quartet of pieces, including Debussy's La Mer and Sibelius's Oceanides - with an aquatic theme.

I remember Mr. Ayers refusing to get out of my car one night until the last note of the Sibelius Symphony No. 2 played on my radio.

Shostakovich’s Fifth, Schubert’s Ninth and Sibelius’ Second may be old chestnuts but not for players who were mostly under 25 and as young as 10.

His Sibelius is reverential, his Stravinsky without bite.

With startling originality, Adams combined the propulsive energy of Glass to his more mainstream musical enthusiasms, be they Sibelius symphonies, late Beethoven string quartets, Stravinsky, American jazz and much else.
