• This disc is the first in a series covering Sibelius’ glorious, yet little known, songs. This recording, appropriately done by Finnish artists who truly capture the essence of Sibelius’ Scandinavian homeland, contains five world première recordings.

• Although Sibelius wrote around a hundred songs over a period of more than thirty years – mainly settings of Swedish texts, with eight in German and only a handful in Finnish – they have suffered comparative neglect alongside his larger-scale orchestral and choral music.

• The best of the songs are essentially nature pieces, dark-hued, vividly characterized, intensely melancholic and vocally demanding. Sibelius considered them to represent his “innermost self”.
