Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra / John Storgårds

This release of works by Finnish composer Leevi Madetoja features his Symphony No.2, the symphonic poem Kullervo and Elegy - the first movement from the Symphonic Suite, op.4. Madetoja's Second Symphony, premiered in December 1918, was the most significant piece of music written in Finland since the symphonies of Sibelius. In the tone poem, he paints an image of Kullervo, the anti-hero of the Finnish national epic Kalevala, with tragedy and pathos.

John Storgards, one of Finland's exceptional artists, has taken the classical music world by storm in recent decades. Since 2008, Storgards has been Chief Conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic and Principal Guest Conductor of BBC Philharmonic since 2012.
