    Album information

    Santtu-Matias Rouvali's project to record the complete Sibelius symphonies with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra continues.

    After the resounding success of Sibelius: Symphony No. 1 & En Saga Santtu-Matias Rouvali's career as a conductor is entering top gear: he has just been appointed Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London.

    At the turn of the twentieth century, as Finland struggled to free itself from Russian rule, Sibelius and his wife faced several domestic dramas, including the loss of one of their daughters, Kirsti, to typhoid fever. The Second Symphony, written in the brilliant key of D major, seems to be marked by the events of the composer’s private life, but many of his contemporaries nevertheless saw it as a political manifesto!

    In 1898, Sibelius composed the incidental music for Adolf Paul’s play King Christian II, the story of the downfall of a king of Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) in the sixteenth century. The suite derived from it was successfully performed in several European cities.
