Jean Sibelius: Theme And Variations For Solo Cello: Cello Solo

First publication of Sibelius's solo cello work dating from 1887 when the composer was 21 years. Theme and Variations was probably never performed in public during Sibelius's lifetime. The music owes much to Bach in terms of its style, although the theme on which the variations are based has a certain Finnish-Nordic flavour. The work has been recorded on the BIS label.
