Okko KamuAbout
Three works by Sibelius make up the programme, which opens with music for Shakespeare's play The Tempest, for which the composer wrote the most ambitious of his several theatre scores in 1925.
In 1926, a year after The Tempest, Sibelius again turned to the realm of magic in his masterful evocation of the forest, the symphonic poem Tapiola. The title can be translated as ‘the domain of Tapio’, god of the forest in Finnish mythology. The work has been regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces from Sibelius’ pen.
These two large-scale works are separated by the seven-minute long symphonic poem The Bard, from 1913, a work which in its treatment of the thematic material and the chamber-music-like quality of its scoring invites comparison with the Fourth Symphony of two year’s earlier.
“The Lahti orchestra bring total dedication to these great scores." - Gramophone Classical Music Guide
