Reviews

  • Finnish composer and conductor Leevi Madetoja (1887–1947) was a Sibelius disciple who spent most of his professional life teaching at Helsinki’s Music Institute (now the Sibelius Academy) and the University of Helsinki. He also edited one of Finland’s music journals and served as a critic for several newspapers. This offering presents half of his com- positions for mixed choir, and there’s no question that he had a gift for combining voices in song. For a fellow who traveled around his homeland…
