About

This instalment returns to the field in which the Finnish master has earned the greatest acclaim. Sibelius himself is reported to have said: ‘I am a man of the orchestra. You must judge me from my orchestral works.’ This disc includes some of Sibelius’s best-known works (the Violin Concerto in Leonidas Kavakos’ award-winning recording and the Karelia Suite newly recorded by Osmo Vänskä to name but two) as well as rarities such as an early version of Rakastava never previously on disc.

Includes previously unreleased recordings with Lahti Symphony Orchestra under Osmo Vänskä:
- Karelia Suite, Op.11
- Romance in C major for string orchestra, Op.42
- March of the Finnish Jäger Battalion, Op.91a
- Suite mignonne, Op.98a
- Suite champêtre, Op.98b
- Suite caractéristique, Op.100
- Autrefois from Three Pieces for Orchestra, Op.96
- Menuetto, JS127

Also includes the following world première recordings:
- Processional, Op.113 No.6
- Rakastava, Op.14
- Tableaux 7/8 from Karelia, JS115, with simplified version of Tableau 7
- Impromptu for string orchestra
