This 15-CD compilation is a tribute to Leif Segerstam (1944-2024), the great Jean Sibelius conductor. Segerstam left a lasting mark on music history in many respects. His Sibelius recordings for Ondine were made during his more than ten years as chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra had been playing Sibelius for a long time - it had already worked with the composer himself. Segerstam's experience, his fine ear and his creative energy were an ideal combination. In addition to complete symphonies and the most important orchestral works, this set also contains music by other Finnish composers who were active during Sibelius' lifetime, as well as classics of Scandinavian orchestral music.
