{"product_id":"sibelius-kullervo","title":"Sibelius: Kullervo","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis magnificent choral symphony, which Sibelius wrote at the very beginning of his career, has acquired quite a following in recent years. It was his very first orchestral work, and its confidence and energy simply blew away contemporary audiences. Then Sibelius, always highly self-critical, prohibited any further performances during his lifetime. About two seconds into the very opening you realize just how wrong he was. The story tells of Kullervo, a tragic hero from Finnish mythology who destroys his family and friends before finally taking his own life. Scored for a large orchestra, male chorus, and two soloists, the music is truly epic in scale. Follow the words as you listen--it's terrific. --David Hurwitz\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000028MW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000028MW.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Esa-Pekka Salonen|Jean Sibelius|Los Angeles Philharmonic|Matti Hyokki|Helsinki University Chorus|Marianna Rorholm|Jorma Hynninen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
