Kullervo
Sibelius's Kullervo stands as one of his most ambitious and least performed masterpieces—a five-movement symphonic poem with soloists and choir based on Karelian mythology. This 2019 Ondine release features soprano Johanna Rusanen and baritone Ville Rusanen as soloists, the Estonian National Male Choir, and Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Hannu Lintu. The work combines symphonic grandeur with intimate vocal moments, creating an epic narrative arc tracing the tragic life of the mythological hero Kullervo. The sound world is quintessentially Sibelian—moody forests, dramatic storms, transcendent beauty. Essential for Sibelius devotees and anyone seeking large-scale Scandinavian romanticism with genuine spiritual weight.
