Kullervo, op. 7
Album by Jean Sibelius & Göteborgs Symfoniker & Laulun Ystävät Mieskuoro & Neeme Järvi & Karita Mattila & Jorma Hynninen
Kullervo, Op. 7 is a symphonic work by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed and premiered in 1892. Rooted in Finnish national romanticism and drawing on the Kalevala, it employs large-scale choral and orchestral forces, stark orchestration and folk-influenced motifs in a dramatic multi-movement structure, marking an early, formative statement that established Sibelius's reputation and foreshadowed his later symphonic writing.
First released: 1986
