Sibelius: Tapiola, En Saga & 8 Songs
RecommendedAnne Sofie von Otter (mezzo)
Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Hannu Lintu

Jean Sibelius: Karelia Suite; Rakastava; Lemminkäinen
Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Susanna Mälkki
Mälkki and the orchestra remarkably conjure the dark, swirling soundworld of ‘Lemminkäinen in Tuonela’ (the Hades of Finnish legend). And the concluding ‘Lemminkäinen’s Return’ canters along... — More…
