Sibelius No 2 in D Dominates Early American Years
The No 2 in D by Jean Sibelius, premiered 1901, became a staple. Sibelius visited America once in 1914, hosted by a wealthy patron who staged Les Zachers in Connecticut. Despite World War I, American orchestras pressed premieres, with Philadelphia and Stokowski showing early interest. Ormandy’s 1937 Scandinavian tour and a 1955 Sibelius festival heightened fame. The Philadelphia orchestra, no photos allowed then, produced a notable recording with Ormandy.
