We continue our celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jean Sibelius (which occurred on December 8, 1865). Right now, we’re in the middle of an hour of his final masterworks, including incidental music from “The Tempest,” the tone poem “Tapiola,” and the Symphony No. 7.

Then at 10:00 we’ll ricochet back to one of his early successes, “Four Legends from the Kalevala,” in a fantastic recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

It’s all-Sibelius until 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com.
