Lemminkäinen Suite

Album by Jean Sibelius & DR SymfoniOrkestret & Thomas Jensen

Lemminkäinen Suite is a four-movement orchestral suite by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1896. Drawing on episodes from the Finnish national epic, the work employs varied orchestral colours and programme-like, evocative tone-poem writing that illustrates Sibelius's early national-romantic phase and his development as a symphonic composer.
First released: 2000
