Lemminkäinen Suite / Night Ride and Sunrise

Album by Jean Sibelius & Toronto Symphony Orchestra & Jukka‐Pekka Saraste

Lemminkäinen Suite is an orchestral suite by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed in 1896–1897. Rooted in Finnish mythology and programme music, the work deploys vivid orchestral colours, striking contrasts between brass, woodwind and strings, and a dramatic final movement that portrays a nocturnal chase resolving into a luminous dawn, marking an important early achievement in Sibelius's orchestral career and in fin-de-siècle Nordic music.
