That would be ['sibelius]. I think I've also heard [si'be:lius] on TV and
such, so that's probably the *correct* one... ['sipelius] isn't impossible,
in that some people would say so, but it sounds incredibly stupid imnsho.

Finns don't usually expect foreigners to pronounce Finnish correctly anyway
(*cough* or mispronounce foreign names in correct way), and since the name
is originally Swedish (?), it's probably better to use Andreas's
pronunciation.
