Tommi Hakala

Conductor:
Leif Segerstam

Background: The Helsinki Philharmonic has a long and triumphant association with the music of Jean Sibelius, having premièred under the composer's baton almost all of his symphonic works. In this release, they perform, under their long-standing chief conductor Leif Segerstam, Sibelius's early choral symphony Kullervo.

The work is based on the legend of Kullervo in the epic Kalevala, which tells the mythic history of the ancient Finns. The huge success of the 1892 première in Helsinki, with Sibelius conducting the Helsinki Philharmonic, turned out to be the big breakthrough of the great Finnish composer's career - a true national hero.
