Sequels: After Sibelius' Seventh Symphony

A remarkable, even revolutionary work, Sibelius' Seventh had a powerful influence on many symphonists, especially in the USA and the UK. Here is a survey of a dozen composers who composed single-movement symphonies in the wake of the Seventh. Some may have been influenced by Sibelius, others could not have been, but the fun thing is that you get to listen and decide. Musical Examples courtesy of Naxos and Ondine records.
