Classical Music: Pictures from Finland

Classical Music: Pictures from Finland

Following their acclaimed Overtures from Finland, Rumon Gamba and the Oulu Sinfonia have assembled another compelling programme of works from their homeland. The disc takes its title from Selim Palmgren's four-movement suite from 1904, offering richly atmospheric character pieces that celebrate the eternal cycle of Finland's dramatic seasons—from the crystalline severity of winter to the brief, intense flowering of summer.
