Who was Sibelius? I'm almost certain that many Finns don't know the answer to this question. And why should they - especially if they were born in America or somewhere else as first-generation Finns in a new country?
If you're one of these folks, and you are not familiar with the name Sibelius, I want to say that - in my opinion at least - you are really missing out on something!
Sibelius - if you didn't already know - you will have guessed from today's "video clip gem" (right sidebar), was a composer. Not just "a composer"...but one of the most famous in the world - even today!
Sibelius had a very interesting life, and you can read about it at one on of my favorite websites covering Finnish topics of interest.
So what do you think of the man an his music? Share your opinion via "comment"!
