Notes & Reviews:

This new release of works by Finnish composer Leevi Madetoja (1887-1947) features his Symphony No. 2, the symphonic poem Kullervo and the Elegy, the first movement from the Symphonic Suite, Op. 4. Ondine will release all three symphonies by Madetoja with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of John Storgårds.

Gramophone Magazine, April 2013
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.
