Various - Jean Sibelius: Kullervo

A fresh new recording of Jean Sibelius� (1865�1957) early breakthrough work by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under its conductor Hannu Lintu. This recording with two male choirs, the Estonian National Male Choir and the Polytech Choir, brings up the full drama of this gigantic 70-minute work which during Sibelius� lifetime was often referred to as a �symphony�. The work tells the story of Kullervo, a tragic hero drawn from the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala.
