Description
<p>"Leevi Madetoja was possibly the most significant of the Finnish post-Sibelian Romantic composers. While coinciding with the Late Romantic era, he nevertheless avoided the overstatement characteristic of their works in favour of a more classically-oriented brand of Romanticism. His idiom embraces both the melancholy trait associated with the Finns and the refinement of the French composers. Among his most important works are three symphonies and two operas." - Kimmo Korhonen</p>
