It was successfully performed for the first time in 1875, and followed the symphony known as the " Little Russian," in which national characteristics are freely exploited. Although the No. 3 is rather like a reaction from exclusivély Russian ideals, it nevertheless has something national in its makeup. This has earned for it the name of "The Polish," 4. & Selected recordings 4.30 Close down 6. 0 Children’s Song Service 7. 0 Methodist Service, relayed from Pitt Street Methodist Church.

O Selected recordings 2.30 The Seven Symphonies of Sibelius, "No. 1 IN E MINOR," Op. 39, played by the Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Kajanus Sibelius was 34 when he conceived this Symphony. It shows an extraordinary grasp of classical symphonic style from which

the composer afterwards gradually deviated, moulding for himself a style essentially his own. -The work came after he had written much distinctively Finnish music with Finnish titles which had made it clear wherein lay his strength and his downright sympathy. This Symphony, nameless though it is, is as definitely a part of Finland’s racial heritage as any of the tone poems which preceded it. 3. 5 4.30 5.30 6.15 6.30 7.45 8.30 Selected recordings Close down Children’s Song Service, conducted by Big Brother Bill Selected recordings Baptist Service, relayed from Hanover Street Baptist Church.
