Sibelius was one of those 19th century Nordic nationalistic composers, along the lines of Grieg. Sibelius has, for whatever reason, recently become popular again. His most well-known composition is probably the Finlandia suite.

[quote=Meatball;201779]So before I get into my favorites I think I should ask whether or not there is a good fan base of classical music on this site. I've noticed that there are no discussions on classical music. Anyone care to share their favorite composers, performers, or any great situations that got them into classical music, whether it be a hobby or lifestyle, or what have you. I'm always looking for new recordings of things or anything interesting at all.

By the way, kudos to whomever named this "Aural Fixations."
thanks.
