Colourful extended harp fare from Finland, a slightly underwhelming follow-up to Hynninen’s marvellous Otilia album [RHa]

(Déjà Review) Played by a fine advocate well attuned to the music and its endearingly soft melancholia [RB]

Engineering sabotages decent enough performances of two British viola sonatas [JW]

A fine survey of Wennäkoski’s chamber music in good performances and recording [HC]

Two magnificent, distinctively folk-tinged concertos are vividly brought to life [RHa]

A poetic, refined, beautifully played account from a remarkable young Finnish pianist [RMo]

Delightful new music to recharge even the most jaded listener [DMD]

Two fine chamber works given passionately committed performances by this outstanding Finnish ensemble [GPJ]

Three substantial string quartets in committed performances and a fine recording [HC]

Another welcome addition to Nordgren’s discography, thanks to Alba’s untiring support [HC]

Played with such evident affection for the music, both contemporary and classical [MSt]
