Sibelius: The Oceanides / Pohjola's Daughter

Stephen Johnson explores the varied moods and impressions conveyed by Sibelius in two of his greatest tone poems. The Oceanides (Op. 73) is a haunting seascape inspired by his first Atlantic crossing. Pohjola's Daughter (Op. 49) is a vivid fantasy inspired by one of the legends from the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala.

The musical examples and performances are provided by the 麻豆社 Philharmonic, conducted by Tecwyn Evans.
