Notes
Sibelius: The Wood Nymph (tone poem), Op. 15; The Wood Nymph (melodrama) (1895); A Lonely Ski-trail; Swanwhite, Op. 54 – Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Osmo Vänskä
‘Sibelius composed The Wood Nymph in 1894 – 95, when the four Lemminkäinen Legends were taking shape in his mind. It is stirring stuff and begins with echoes of the Karelia music and in places comes close to both the first of the Legends and Lemminkäinen’s Homeward Journey. It improves with every hearing: its main ideas haunt the listener and are difficult to dislodge from the brain! A Lonely Ski-trail is slight, but The Wood Nymph melodrama is imaginative and highly unusual. The original music to Swanwhite has some poetic ideas that did not find their way into the suite, though for the most part there is not a great deal that is unfamiliar. Superb playing from the Lahti Orchestra under Osmo Vänskä, and spacious, impeccably balanced recording.’
