Sibelius鈥檚 first two symphonies were very romantic in style, with sweeping tunes and big orchestra climaxes. His 3rd uses far smaller forces and has a more introspective and concentrated feel. It鈥檚 also unusual by having only 3 movements, and some have suggested that they correspond to the birth, death and resurrection of Christ. With hymn-like passages for the orchestra in all 3 movements, and an optimistic feel to the last, there is a certainly religious feel to this most accessible work.
