The Finnish composer Leevi Madetoja wrote his three symphonies (between 1915 and 1926) in the wake of Sibelius. According to the Gramophone critic Ivan March, you have only to sample the opening movement of the First to discover how compellingly attractive is Madetoja's musical world, if less dark and plangent of his predecessor.
