Dominante and Seppo Murto here present a disc of choral works for mixed choir by Jean Sibelius The programme spans the entire active career of the composer and includes some of his best-known works, such as Rakastava (The Lover) and the Six Songs, Op.18, and the piece which has provided the title of the present disc: Saarella palaa (Fire on the Island). The disc also includes some rarities, including some Neapolitan folk songs and a light-hearted serenade featuring the legendary Jorma Hynninen. The disc ends with the hymn section from Finlandia, probably Sibelius’ most famous composition. “Fascinating manuscript fragments and student exercises appear alongside Finnish and Swedish-language choral classics...Supple, springy choral singing.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2012 ***** “Where the newcomer scores is in a clutch of real rarities, the least of which - the five student Contrapuntal Exercises written in 1887-90 - are fascinating (and also very taxing to sing)...Dominante's 40 [singers] do it [Man fran slatten och havet] proud, Christian Starke's sound superbly capturing throughout their finely nuanced interpretations” Gramophone Magazine, February 2013 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
