Info for Madetoja: Symphony No. 2 - Kullervo - Elegy
This new release of works by Finnish composer Leevi Madetoja (1887-1947) features his Symphony No. 2, the symphonic poem Kullervo and the Elegy, the first movement from the Symphonic Suite, Op. 4. Ondine will release all three symphonies by Madetoja with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of John Storgårds.
“If you're new to Madetoja this is a good place to start; if you already possess the alternative versions...these are still worth investigating.” (Gramophone)
Perhaps Sibelius's finest contemporary...It's vividly performed.” (BBC Music Magazine)
“These Madetoja scores are conducted with sharp insight and unfaltering authority. Under Storgårds’ baton the impeccably prepared Helsinki Philharmonic exhibit their commitment to the music. The playing glows with expressive force and a palpable sense of concentration.” (MusicWeb International)
