Hailing from the Romantic period of Finland, Sibelius made major contributions in forming a national identity for his country. His most important work includes the set of seven symphonies, Finlandia, The Maiden in the Tower and The Tempest.

As for Sibelius: piano quintet, he composed it when he was just twenty five. Interesting to note here is that Sebelius rejected this peace at one time, calling it 'absolute rubbish'.

In reality, this composition is more like an advanced level of Sibelius' earlier works, encompassing the composer's Scandinavian roots.

The current performers on this quintet for piano and string in G minor are Ian Jewel on viola, John Georgiadis and Brenden O'Kelly on violin, Anthony Goldstone on piano and Keith Harvey on cello. All these artists know how to give a symphonic texture to this precious composition.
