About

Following up the first two instalments of The Sibelius Edition, this third volume offers the complete music for voice and orchestra, including orchestral songs, cantatas, melodramas and the composer’s one opera – The Maiden in the Tower.

Opening the programme is one of Sibelius’s greatest works, Kullervo, which enters the mythological realm of Kalevala, Finland’s national epos. The Fool’s Song of the Spider, Sandels, Have You Courage? and The Captive Queen are only some of the included works with a more or less overt political message, another common theme in the music of Sibelius.

As with the previous instalments, several of the works are given here in more than one version, mirroring the composer’s tendency to return to a score even after publication, or to adapt a work to performance conditions.

Also included are the composer’s earliest surviving attempts at writing for choir and orchestra: two chorales from his student years. Among the recordings, three have not been previously released, and one of these – the 1912 version of Have You Courage? – is a world première.

Assembled in chronological order, the remaining recordings have been collected from a number of earlier discs, released to great critical acclaim. To mention but a few, Osmo Vänskä’s Kullervo has been described as “a first-class account, dramatic and powerfully atmospheric” in Gramophone while the performances of the orchestral songs received a Grand Prix du Disque at the time of their original release.
