The young Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä will make his record debut on Decca in March with a complete cycle of the Jean Sibelius symphonies, plus the tone poem Tapiola and 3 Late Fragments.

Mäkelä is the first conductor to sign exclusively to Decca since Riccardo Chailly in 1978 and, before that, Georg Solti in 1948.

He is recording Sibelius with the Oslo Philharmonic, where he is music director.
