Sibelius: Pohjola’s Daughter
The symphonic fantasy Pohjola’s Daughter, Sibelius interprets national epic Kalevala and hero Väinämöinen who, while travelling from the cold country of Pohjola, sees a beautiful girl in the sky spin a golden yarn on her spinning wheel. Sibelius has charged his musical imagination with plenty of intensity and bright colours, well matched by the sounds of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. Recorded for GSOplay in September 2019.
