A splendid choice as a business gift: a collection of early 20th-century Finnish national romantic orchestral music (...) gorgeous illustrations add to a fine CD product. This CD + photo album product features a fine collection of 12 Finnish orchestral gems (including Valse triste by Sibelius, Wedding March by Toivo Kuula and Valse lente by Oskar Merikanto), newly recorded under the direction of chief conductor Leif Segerstam. The booklet includes 18 carefully chosen colour photographs of typical Finnish landscapes, which illustrate the inspiration which the featured composers draw from their relationship with Finnish nature. |
