JAKOB BRO

PIIA KOMSI

Rolf Riehm is an unconventional artist, a radical composer, and a politically engaged human being. His compositions reject tradition, yet draw on the entire historical spectrum of expressive possibilities.

STEVEN ISSERLIS / DÉNES VÁRJON

Cellists have cause to be thankful for the impracticality and swift demise of the arpeggione, which allowed the appropriation of Schubert’s wonderful sonata for their own instrument. Dénes Várjon’s 1851 Érard lends characterful zest both here and in Chopin, while bonuses include Steven Isserlis’s own transcriptions of songs by both composers.

ADAM JOHNSON

Finnish composer and conductor Toivo Kuula was a student of Sibelius. His piano music is notable for its wide array of colour and variety of style, with moods ranging from the melancholy Juhlamarssi, or Funeral March, and the folkloristic Satukuvia to the light-hearted Schottis.
