Synopsis

Amazon.com
This disc contains Klami's two finest orchestral works: Kalevala Suite and Sea Pictures. This latter work shows Ravel's influence very clearly. Its last movement sounds just like Boléro sort of played sideways! There are also clear similarities to the Rhapsodie espagnole, and it's no disparagement of Klami to say that his music has the same brilliance and refinement as the French master's. The major work on this disc, however, is the Kalevala Suite, an evocation of Finnish mythology that really does rank with the great achievements of Sibelius. All of these pieces are very well performed and recorded by a fine Finnish orchestra under the legendary baton of Finnish conductor Jorma Panula. Klami's a terrific composer. You'll really like him. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Excellent sound, excellent buy

"The other reviewer's comments were so off-the-mark that I felt that I had to offset them. The sound on this disc is excellent, it is not recorded at a low level or diminished in any way. Perhaps the other reviewer has a manufacturer defect--it happens.



A generous sampling of Klami's best works recorded in 1996 in glorious DDD sound.



Time = 71:46

Good - too bad you can't hear it.

"No point belaboring this: I downloaded the Mp3 from Amazon, thinking that would avoid a possible problem such as the reviewer above had. No such luck. The music is audible and more or less enjoyable, but at about one-third the appropriate level, it's nothing I'd consider playing for others. I suggest you look elsewhere. (The Iceland Symphony has a new recording of this on the Chandos label)"
