Goldentone to the rescue!  ;D

I had no idea he was such a great composer until I heard him.
The first time I went to the symphony they played Sibleius' 2nd
symphony, and I really enjoyed it.  The 2nd is a good place to start.

Symphonies 3, 5, and 6 are all wonderful as well.  I have Sir Colin Davis with
the LSO playing 2 & 6 and 3 & 5.

Have fun.

(Yes, he is Finnish)

He was not of an age, but for all time.
