BEETHOVEN Große Fuge, Op. 133 (arr. Michael Steinberg)
SIBELIUS Kullervo, Op. 7

More Information:

Both these works are huge: the Große Fuge in its grand audacity, and Kullervo—a character from the Kalevala, a harrowing tale from Finnish folklore—in its epic scope and brazen audacity. Both were also neglected in their time, the Beethoven because it was thought to be too difficult, and Kullervo because Sibelius himself withdrew it. Only now do they flourish, with Kullervo recognized as Finland’s great musical epic.
