The Popular Sibelius: Finlandia, Valse triste, Karelia, The Swan of Tuonela, Lemminkäinen's Return, King Christian II…

The name of Finnish conductor Paavo Berglund is inextricably linked to the greatest composer among his fellow countrymen, Jean Sibelius. He recorded no less than three complete symphony cycles for EMI/Finlandia, all included in our beautiful boxset to be published next January. At the very beginning of his mandate at the head of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, he recorded this beautiful collection of Sibelius’ greatest hits, previously only available as an LP, and now remastered in HD!
