I'm listening, at this moment, to Jean Sibelius'
Symphony No. 2: IV. Finale. This is a piece that you can receive
free today, courtesy of YourClassical.
This is one of the longer freebies that we've received lately, being 13 minutes, 30 seconds long. As with almost all of the freebies that we get from YourClassical, this one, too, is supplied by Naxos. It comes from a 2-CD set of theirs called
The Very Best of Sibelius. Although the
free piece comes from a CD set, please be aware that the piece that we get
free is reduced to the MP3 format.
Compilations are subject to having multiple performers, conductors, and others contributing to the work. This 2-CD set has multiple performers, conductors and others contributing. This
free piece, at least, is performed by the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Adrian Leaper as conductor. Get full information about the album from
here.
You can download the
free MP3 piece, stream it, or do both from
this webpage. You don't need an account of any kind to do these things!
The piece just finished playing. Sibelius is one of the younger (late 19th - early 20th century) of the great masters. His music sounds like some of the great older ones. Expect liveliness and intensity from this orchestral piece. It is enjoyable.
