“Mäkelä’s cycle is all of a piece, accomplished, insightful and full of the beauty and intrigue that make these works so perennially exciting. An uber-auspicious debut.” — Gramophone 

The Oslo Philharmonic teams up with its Chief Conductor, up-and-coming star conductor Klaus Mäkelä, in the complete symphonies of Jean Sibelius. The orchestra’s long history with Sibelius’ music spans over a century, with the composer himself leading the orchestra on multiple occasions in the 1920s. Together, Mäkelä, Sibelius and the Oslo Philharmonic form an undeniably authentic and artistic Scandinavian trio.
