Sibelius: Four Lemminkäinen Legends

Meet the mythical hero Lemminkäinen in Sibelius’ tone poem, one of his major masterpieces. Sibelius was inspired by Finland’s national epic, the Kalevala, and had planned to compose an opera, but found that it suited him better to portray this hero in a series of tone poems. The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra is led by chief conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali.
