The Sibelius Edition was launched in September 2007 and exactly four years later, in September 2011, it comes full circle as the final volume is presented where it all began, at the International Sibelius Festival in Lahti, Finland.

Volume 13 of the Sibelius Edition focusses on the Masonic Ritual Music* for tenor and organ and the complete music for solo organ, but also includes orchestral fragments and a recording of the bells from Helsinki’s Kallio Church, for which Sibelius composed the melody in 1912. As a special feature, one of the discs also include a video file with the classic ‘Jean Sibelius at Home’ film, made in 1927 and 1945 by Aho & Soldan. With this final instalment a separate booklet with the complete index to the recordings and works included in the entire edition is provided, as a key to the 80+ hours of music that form the lifework of Sibelius.)
