Robert Kajanus was a Finnish conductor and composer, one of the key early interpreters of Sibelius. He was a central figure in Finnish orchestral life.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in early Sibelius recordings, including symphonic and orchestral material from the 1930s.

Kajanus’s importance lies in his proximity to Sibelius and to the first major recorded tradition of the composer’s music.

His page is essential for the Sibelius strand. Kajanus gives the shelf a Finnish foundation stone, weathered and authoritative.
