Utterly beautiful- I only heard this for the first time at the Barbican last night in the first BBC SO Sibelius symphony cycle concert. Every new Sibelius work I hear becomes my new favourite!
@cyphicle Phyllis Bryn-Julson is amazing here. I think it's because she exudes such a natural sound - she doesn't unduly dramatize, but rather lets the beauty of her voice help the drama of the story unfold.

@edgluhrs yes, excellent description. I join your point completely. I knew Mari Anne Haggander's version which reaches the very same standard.
