Jean Sibelius: Kullervo
Jean Sibelius’s national awakening burst into full bloom already in his first orchestral work, the monumental Kullervo. This symphonic poem for orchestra, male choir and soloists, brimming with youthful ambition, remains one of the greatest achievements of Finnish music. The most tragic hero of the Kalevala is brought to life by internationally acclaimed opera stars Johanna Rusanen-Kartano and Ville Rusanen.
