Summary: 

Having no great knowledge of classical music, in specific, and liking
all kinds of music in general (and proud of being Finnish) I have
purchased and liked the two Sibelius' albums I have.  On the cover
of one is some critics' views of Sibelius.  He mentioned that
Sibelius is well known for his tone poems and is quite good at
these specific compositions.  I certainly liked them.  Finlandia
was one I believe that went over quite well with me.  What does
anyone else think of Sibelius' works?  Please don't be too rough!
Curious to learn.
