Symphony No. 1 in E minor, op. 39


Like Jean Sibelius before him, Finnish composer Uuno Klami (1900-1961) was attracted to the national epic The Kalevala. Listeners who are familiar with Sibelius’s tone poems on Kalevalan subjects will likely find this suite intriguing. Initially, he planned to write an opera on it, then an oratorio, or a ballet, but ultimately he wrote this major orchestral suite. After Klami left Finland he studied music in Paris with Florent Schmidt and Maurice Ravel. Other works presented in this concert are Maurice Ravel’s
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G major and Jean Sibelius’ Symphony No. 1 in E minor, op. 39.
