There are more world premiere recordings on Finnish Violin Music, with violinist Annemarie \u00c5strom leading performances of virtually unknown works written in the 1920s in the shadow of Sibelius (Alba Records ABCD 410 alba.fi). The three composers here share a connection, Helvi Leivisk\u00e4 and V\u00e4in\u00f6 Raitio having studied with Erkki Melartin at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.<\/p>\n
\u00c5strom is joined by fellow KAA\u00c5S Trio members pianist Tiina Karakorpi and cellist Ulla Lampela in Leivisk\u00e4\u2019s Piano Trio, and by violist Atte Kilpel\u00e4inen and cellist Tomas Nu\u00f1ez-Garc\u00e9s in Melartin\u2019s terrific Trio Op.133. Raitio is represented by the Four Pieces for Violin and Piano Op.18 and Sinivuokko, a late piece from 1943.<\/p>\n
These are fine performances of really strong and appealing works that leave you wondering what other real gems are waiting to be rescued from obscurity.<\/p>\n
