Lemminkäinen Legends
Album by Jean Sibelius & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson
Lemminkäinen Legends is an orchestral suite by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1896–1897. Rooted in the late-Romantic, nationalistic tradition and drawing on Finnish epic themes, the work employs expanded orchestral colour and tone‑poem techniques and occupies a key place in Sibelius's early career as a formative orchestral statement.
