Jean Sibelius
Lemminkäinen Suite, Op. 22
In February, ERSO continues along the Kalevala path with two more works by Jean Sibelius, conducted by Dima Slobodeniouk. The symphonic poem The Maiden of the North tells the story of the white-bearded Väinämöinen, who sees the beautiful maiden weaving golden cloth on a rainbow and tries to win her through a series of impossible tasks. The Lemminkäinen Suite, on the other hand, brings to life four legends from the Kalevala, centered on the bold and impetuous hero Lemminkäinen. Also featured on the program is Fisher King, a trumpet concerto by Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin, performed by renowned soloist Håkan Hardenberger.
