Sibelius secured his international reputation as a 20th-century classic above all with his large orchestral works. However, his vocal works, including the songs for voice and orchestra, are just as important and innovative. They combine Sibelius's masterful command of the orchestral apparatus with a uniquely sensitive feeling for the textual sources. They range from the dramatic ballad Koskenlaskijan morsiamet Op. 33 to the intimate, lyrical Arioso Op. 3, and from the post-Wagnerian Serenad JS 183 (presented here for the first time) to the boldly orchestrated vision Luonnotar Op. 70. Following the two books of songs with piano accompaniment, this volume of the Sibelius Complete Edition (JSW) will definitely make an important contribution to the international reception of Sibelius' works.
