Karelia - Complete Score / Kuolema - Incidental music

Album by Jean Sibelius & Sinfonia Lahti & Osmo Vänskä

Karelia — Complete Score / Kuolema — Incidental Music is a compilation album of works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, drawn from pieces composed in 1893 and 1903. The music represents Sibelius's early Finnish-nationalist Romantic style, featuring orchestral fanfares, modal folk-inspired melodies and atmospheric incidental passages written for theatre and ceremonial contexts that illustrate his development as a composer of national music.
