Jean Sibelius: The Sibelius Edition - Tone Poems (SECOND-HAND 5 x CD BOX-SET)

The Sibelius Edition Vol. 1: Tone Poems is a major five-CD production released by BIS Records in 2007, offering nearly six and a half hours of Jean Sibelius's essential tone poems and orchestral rarities. The collection primarily features the Lahti Symphony Orchestra conducted by Osmo Vänskä and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under Neeme Järvi, with guest appearances by soprano Helena Juntunen and musicians Ilkka Pälli, Leena Saarenpää, and Jukka Hirvikangas. What makes this release unique is its chronological and comparative structure, which places rare original and intermediate versions—such as the complete 1896 version of the Lemminkäinen Suite and the historical Music for the Press Celebration Days—alongside world-famous masterpieces like Finlandia, Tapiola, and The Swan of Tuonela.
