The atmospheric opening of Sibelius' Violin Concerto transports the listener directly to the vast, wooded landscape of Finland. Although it marked the end of Sibelius' dream of becoming a virtuoso violinist, the concerto still poses a great challenge for performers today.

The Berceuse by Sibelius' brother-in-law Armas Järnefelt (1869-1958) is simpler, but just as touching and sentimental. Inspired by the sight of his sleeping two-year-old daughter, it was composed in 1904, around the time when Sibelius' violin concerto was originally completed.

Karol Szymanowski described his second violin concerto as "terribly sentimental". It represents the lush Romantic style influenced by Richard Strauss, Stravinsky's early ballets and, of course, traditional Polish music, especially that of the Gorals in the southern Polish highlands.
