The Finnish conductor Mikko Franck shows us the beauty of the music of his homeland. Jean Sibelius’s Fifth Symphony evokes associations with the austere beauty of the Finnish landscape – particularly in the finale, which was inspired by the sight of swans flying overhead. Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Karawane also has mystical strength. From Einojuhani Rautavaara, we will hear one of the best-known 20th-century settings of the requiem.
