      I would higly recommend the following:

      Finlandia (a tone poem)
      Symphony No. 1
      Symphony No. 2
      Violin Concerto
      Karelia (another tone poem)

      He also wrote 5 more symphonies, among other things.

          Eh, I thought that was John Williams? And of course the Soviet Anthem there... But anyone who has watched Die Hard 2: With Vengeance, has heard parts of Finlandia. I believe it was the part, when the liners started to succesfully land... A victorious tune.

            ah the actual theme might be something else.. but Finlandia plays in the most important moment in it, so it at least SHOULD be the theme

                I'd heard of him. I thought he was a physicist.
