If you're new to Madetoja this is a good place to start; if you already possess the alternative versions...these are still worth investigating.

These Madetoja scores are conducted with sharp insight and unfaltering authority. Under Storgårds’ baton the impeccably prepared Helsinki Philharmonic exhibit their commitment to the music. The playing glows with expressive force and a palpable sense of concentration.
