En saga (op. 9) is a tone poem composed by Jean Sibelius in 1891-92 and revised by him in 1902. This version is the revised one. Conductor: Vladimir Ashkenazy Orchestra: Philharmonia Orchestra
Thank you very much for putting this on. I love Sibelius and especially En saga. I have known it now for over forty years and it never ceases to enchant me. And to have the score with it helps to have that little extra concentration. Wonderful.
Surely one of my favorite pieces by Sibelius.

I forgot how much vitality it has. I tend to dismiss his symphonic poems.
