The
orchestral version of
Hostkvall, with words
translated into German by
Ferdinand Tilgmann, was
originally written for
the soprano Aino Ackte
(1876-1944). The date of
the premiere is not
known, although an early
performance took place in
Paris, when Minnie Tracey
sang the piece under the
direction of Alfred
Cortot on January 14,
1905.It remains uncertain
why Sibelius wrote
another version of the
work with German text
only for voice and string
orchestra around the same
time. As far as is known,
this latter version has
never been performed
before its first
publication in the volume
of the complete edition
Jean Sibelius Works in
2003.
