4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Sibelius, November 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sibelius Songs (Audio CD)
Many of these songs were not originally written with an orchestral accompaniment in mind. But orchestra brings out new colors in these works, that I hadn't realized before when listening to them with piano accompaniment.

Hynninen sings beautifully throughout, and is in my opinion at his best in these songs. He has a special kind of light high baritone voice, that doesn't always work well in opera, but in Sibelius it works fantastically. Understanding the language and the cultural background of these songs helps as well.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sibelius Songs (Audio CD)
The evocation of the Finnish forest, lakes, and skies, of love and joy and longing... expressive music, sensitively sung. Potent stuff!
