Dining with Jean Sibelius
46: Auditorium Books, 2014. 1st Edition. Hardcover. With special permission from Jean Sibelius's heirs, the authors gained unprecedented access to the private collections of his home, Ainola, and the National Archives of Finland. Vivid new and vintage photographs enliven the dramatic tale of the Finnish composer's life (1865-1957). In Helsinki, Sibelius and his artistic circle held legendary dinner parties at the Hotel Kämp. At Ainola, he and his family dined on traditional Finnish fare: game, seafood, vegetables and fruit straight from his wife's beloved garden, as well as homey delights such as whipped lingonberry pudding. "The master is quite a gourmet," said his private secretary.
