Sibelius鈥檚 1st Symphony from the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales under Emilia Hoving. There's also choral music for Holy Week, and traditional Croatian folk tunes from Zagreb.

Penny Gore introduces a recent recording of Sibelius's Symphony No.1 from the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales under Emilia Hoving.
