, and is worth a listen for Sibelius fans. The complete music to the play is available on The music is erotic, with lots of triple time waltzes and minuets, featuring woodwind duets in thirds, a quintessential Sibelius touch. The highlight is Jalas' authorized arrangement of Scaramouche, Sibelius's commissioned music for a forgettable pantomime play about a dancer, her husband, and a stereotypical minstrel enchanter. This two CD set is a reissue of two LPs made by Jussi Jalas, Sibelius' son in law, with a second tier Eastern European orchestra. I stress how enjoyable and worthwhile this double CD is.

The only missing Suite is the popular Pelleas and Melissande. There are 4 pieces from Kuolema, including Scene with Cranes and Valse Triste.ДЄltogether 158 minutes of music, all of which is worth having. The other Suites are early works but worth having, Scenes Historiques 1 & 2 and King Christian II. It is interestingly different and worth having on CD. Scaramouche is a ballet which Sibelius requested Jussi Jalas, his son in law and the conductor here, to form into a 21 minute Suite which is played here.

Then follows the full 7 piece Swanwhite Suite which is beautifuly played. The best is the two Suites from the Tempest which I like very much. The difference in the CDs is the quality of the music. It nearly put me off buying it! I'm glad I did buy it!

Please ignore the reviewer who said otherwise. The sound is good 1970's ADD.Д«oth CDs are equally well played. This double CD of theatre music by Sibelius was recorded between 19 by Jussi Jalas with the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra.
