Sibelius: Epic Finland
Hannu Lintu
A rare chance to hear Sibelius’ early work (revised at the end of his life), based on the great national Finnish epic, the Kalevala, the source of more than a dozen of his most important compositions. Rachmaninoff’s portrait of psychological angst set against the changing of the seasons completes the evening exploring northern landscapes.
