Juhani Lagerspetz - Jouni Kaipainen SOUTH BY NORTHEAST (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

After a while, Tampere Filharmonia is releasing a new album. The album is featuring the world premiere of works by composer Jouni Kaipainen, with whom the orchestra had a long and fruitful co-operation. The album SOUTH BY NORTHEAST features conductor Hannu Lintu and pianist Juhani Lagerspetz as soloist. The album continues Tampere Philharmoninic Orchestra's collaboration with Alba Records.

Jouni Kaipainen (1956-2015) was a polymath in contemporary Finnish music and a Renessance figure who, despite his untimely death, left a rich and varied oeuvre. Having moved from Helsinki to Tampere, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra (TPO) became Kaipainen's ‘second family’ and home orchestra, which premiered many of his major works in the 2000s. For the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra he composed many works, including symphonies, concertos and chamber music works. Close collaboration with TPO enriched the repertoire of both the orchestra and the composer and brought Kaipainen’s music to the attention of a wider audience.
