About
As Andrew Barnett remarks in his informative liner notes, ‘listening to them in their entirety reveals considerable lightness of touch and many a flash of genuine humour. The finest of them certainly reveal his gift for melody and his acute response to nature imagery, especially when setting poems featuring pantheistic imagery.’
Many of the songs were written for, or premièred by, leading Finnish singers. It is a fine cast of Finnish singers who perform their compatriot’s music on this collection, which also includes the highly acclaimed recordings by the Swedish mezzo Anne Sofie von Otter of some of the best-known songs, including Black Roses, The Diamond on the March Snow and But My Bird is Long in Homing. As for the accompaniments, the lion’s share is in the hands of Folke Gräsbeck, an undisputed authority on Sibelius’ piano scores and a key contributor to this edition.
This box contains a large number of previously unreleased recordings, as well as many world premières on disc. The 236 page booklet contains all song texts in the original language, with English translations.
Artists include: Helena Juntunen, soprano; Anne Sofie von Otter and Monica Groop, mezzo-soprano; Dan Karlström, tenor; Gabriel Suovanen and Jorma Hynninen, baritone, Folke Gräsbeck, Bengt Forsberg and Love Derwinger, piano, Jaakko Kuusisto, violin; Marko Ylönen and Joel Laakso, cello.
