There's some real magic in this disc. His brilliant, glittering, delicate playing adds an icy edge of enchantment and clarity to pieces that are already enchanting in their own right. (...) One feels that Mustonen understands Sibelius' imagination from the inside; outside, his touch gleams with the otherworldly incandescence of frost patterns in the sunlight. This CD is the first fruit of Olli Mustonen's recording collaboration wih Ondine. This solo recording features the exceptional Finnish pianist with the most ambitious achievements of Jean Sibelius's piano music, a body of lovely and rarely-played miniatures which still await discovery. |
