Martti Similä was a Finnish conductor, active in orchestral and operatic life in Finland. He was associated with Finnish repertory and with the broader Scandinavian musical world.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in the 1957 Sibelius memorial concert, alongside Jussi Björling, Kirsten Flagstad and Øivin Fjeldstad.

Similä’s presence belongs to a historically charged Sibelius context, close to the composer’s death and to the Nordic performance traditions surrounding his music.

His page is justified by repertory significance. Similä gives the Sibelius memorial shelf a Finnish podium signature.
