This is a great intrepretation (and recording) of this most wonderful work which Sibelius, mysteriously, had withdrawn from public performance soon after it's premiere and it was only restored in recent decades.
It may be an early work with flaws but it's still light years ahead of many other works by well established composers.
Kullervo was the tragic hero who inspired JRR Tolkien vor creating his tragic hero Tuar Turambar in the Children of Hurin, one of the corner stories of the Silmarilion.
