Moscow, Berlin, and especially Paris. Years of studying in the world’s metropolises matured Väinö Raitio into a master of colour music. Raitio dresses our national bird in an impressionistically flickering costume.

India, Sudan, New York. Olli Kortekangas' new work is dedicated to the memory of the poet Meena Alexander and the soprano Tuuli Takala.

Joonas Kokkonen composed by a grand piano as he paced around it. A grand piano is also the heart of the home Alvar Aalto designed for Kokkonen. His Fourth Symphony was one of the first works completed at Villa Kokkonen.

English

Moskova, Berliini, ja varsinkin Pariisi. Oppivuodet maailman metropoleissa kypsyttivät Väinö Raitiosta värimusiikin mestarin. Raitio pukee kansallislintumme impressionistisesti välkehtivään pukuun.

Intia, Sudan, New York. Olli Kortekankaan uusi teos on omistettu runoilija Meena Alexanderin muistolle sekä sopraano Tuuli Takalalle.

Joonas Kokkonen sävelsi flyygelin äärellä, sen ympärillä astellen. Flyygeli on myös Alvar Aallon Kokkoselle piirtämän kodin sydämenä. Neljäs sinfonia on ensimmäisiä Villa Kokkosessa valmistuneita teoksia.

suomi

Moskva, Berlin, och framförallt Paris. Det var läroåren utomlands som gjorde Väinö Raitio till en färgmusikens mästare. Raitio klär vår nationalfågel i en impressionistiskt  blänkande musikdräkt.

Indien, Sudan, New York. Olli Kortekangas nya verk är tillägnat minnet av poeten Meena Alexander, och sopran Tuuli Takala.

Joonas Kokkonen skrev sin musik vid en flygel, vandrande runt den. Flygeln utgjorde hjärtat i tonsättarens hem som var ritat av Alvar Aalto. Den fjärde symfonin är ett av de första verk som föddes i Villa Kokkonen.
