The Lahti Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Osmo Vänskä, delivers a powerful performance that captures the intensity and complexity of Aho's music.

The second piece on the album is Modest Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death, a haunting work that explores themes of mortality and despair. The orchestra and soloist Matti Salminen deliver a powerful interpretation of Mussorgsky's music, capturing the emotional depth and complexity of the work.
