Jean Sibelius.
In the first of two films exploring the life and music of Jean
Sibelius, Christopher Nupen looks at the Finnish composer's
development from his beginnings to the time of his third symphony. At
the peak of his career Sibelius was hailed by many leading critics and
composers as the greatest symphonist of the twentieth century. The
film offers an intimate account, using archive footage and Sibelius's
music and words, of a great artist's struggle with his medium, with
the world and with himself.
