This album features Sibelius’s *Pohjola's Daughter*, *Rakastava*, *Tapiola*, and *Andante lirico*, performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under Neeme Järvi. *Pohjola’s Daughter*, inspired by the *Kalevala*, recounts the story of Väinämöinen's failed attempts to win the hand of Pohjola’s daughter through magical tasks. *Rakastava*, originally written for choir, is presented here in an orchestral suite capturing delicate themes of love and farewell. *Tapiola*, Sibelius’s final major work, embodies the dark, mystical Northern forests and their god, Tapio, with haunting, monothematic textures. The album closes with *Andante lirico*, a serene piece drawn from earlier piano impromptus, showcasing Sibelius's lyrical orchestration.
