Awards and reviews
August 2007
Of the many Sibelius works inspired by the Kalevala (the Finnish national epic poem), The Origin of Fire remains one of the least familiar and yet most riveting. Tommi Hakala (the 2003 Cardiff Singer of the World) is in magnificent voice, as are the choir of Helsinki University.
