Oulu Symphony Orchestra - Pictures from Finland - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Following their successful album Overtures from Finland (CHSA 5336) Rumon Gamba conducts the Oulu Symphony Orchestra in another programme of works from their native land. The album takes it's title from Selim Palmgren's four movement suite, which was written in 1904 and are richly atmospheric character pieces celebrating the changing seasons. Several of the works here take inspiration from the natural world, not least Sibelius' Kurkikohtaus (Scene with Cranes), originally composed as incidental music for a play by his brother-in-law, Arvid Jarnefelt. Robert Kajanus is often considered the father of Finnish music. As a young man, Kajanus was one of the standard bearers in the drive for Finnish independence, and he developed a keen artistic interest in Finnish folklore and vernacular traditions. His second Finnish Rhapsody (Suomalainen rapsodia), Op. 8, dates from 1886 and is the oldest work here. The album also features works by two other key Finnish composers Vaino Raitio and Leevi Madetoja - a native of Oulu. Taken as a whole, the album presents it's own fascinating picture of Finnish Orchestral Music. Album Tracks 1. Aus Finnland, Op. 24~I. Frühlingsträume (Dreams in Spring). Sehr breit - Largamente - Tranquillo 2. Aus Finnland, Op. 24~II. Menuett im Volkston (Minuet in Popular Style).

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
