Overtures from Finland (CD Review)
by Ryan Ross Sibelius: Karelia Overture, Op. 10; Klami: Nummisuutarit; Melartin: Overture to ‘Prinsessa Ruusunen’, Op. 22; Madetoja: Comedy Overture, Op. 53; Järnefelt: Ouverture lyrique; Mielck: Dramatische Ouvertüre, Op. 6; Palmgren: Overture from ‘Tuhkimo-Sarja’, Op. 21; Kajanus: Overtura sinfonica; Kaski: Prélude, Op. 7 No. 1; Järnefelt: Praeludium. Oulu Sinfonia; Rumon Gamba, conductor. Chandos CHSA 5336. With the obvious exception of Sibelius, many listeners are unlikely to have heard of most or all of the composers represented on this disc. However, I hope that a simple lack of name recognition will not deter them from giving it a listen; there is some lovely music to be enjoyed here. Moreover, all of these works are short, with the longest (the overture by Mielck) lasting just 12:24. Conductors and artistic directors of live concerts should also take note: it would not be difficult to squeeze one or more of them onto their programs, even on a […]

WQXR in NYC has an annual countdown of, I guess, most popular classical music works. In a nice twist, they asked a bunch of experts to nominate follow-ons: if you liked this piece, try listening to this lesser-known work. They got interesting responses, including works by Suk, Fibich, Zelenka, van Maldere, Walker, Bridge, Palmgren, and others, some famous (Schoenberg, Mahler), some (Palmgren?) not so much. But they really came through in one area, that of perpetuating stereotypes. Not one of the 30 follow-on works was composed by a woman. And that's from a group of experts that included three women, plus members of the WQXR staff itself. I do note that there is one work composed by an African-American composer, George Walker, and one composed by....a collective of Chinese composers? I'd like to offer yet another alternative list. If you know a work by a female composer […]
