Symphonic in scale and ambition, the incidental music to Shakespeare's play The Tempest was among the last orchestral works Sibelius composed before entering the mysterious 'silence of Järvenpää' that lasted until his death. The wide expressive demands of the play saw Sibelius calling on large musical forces, ranging from the terrifying tone picture of the opening shipwreck via ethereal song to boisterous character portraits and remarkable evocations of nature.
