This podcast explores the enduring legacy of Jean Sibelius in modern Finland and uncovers fascinating details about the composer's early life, influences, involvement in Finland's struggle for independence from Russia and immersion in nature at Ainola. It was recorded by Lesley Riddoch (NH Director and Sibelius fan) during the 'trip of a lifetime' to Lahti, Finland in September 2022 and includes interviews with members of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra in Finland, past and present and a walk through Ainola museum - the home that once gave Finland's most famous composer the quiet and natural inspiration he craved.
