With Martin Handley. The Halle pays tribute to Sibelius in the 50th anniversary year of the composer's death in a programme that includes three of his finest tone-poems.

As well as taking the fearsomely difficult solo vocal part in Luonnatar, leading Swedish soprano Hillevi Martinpelto also contributes some of Sibelius's orchestral songs. The concert also includes his final symphony, a single movement to sum up his life's work.
