Pietari Inkinen

Description:

Sibeliuss Light and Shadow: Two Symmetrical Works!Symphony No. 4, which he composed despite being in poor health, presents one of the most somber and enigmatic aspects of his entire body of work. However, Symphony No. 5, composed shortly thereafter as a celebratory piece to mark his 50th birthday, possesses a radiant sound. It seems as though Inkinen is presenting these contrasting works to us in what appears to be their finest possible form.
