Selim Palmgren, a student of Busoni, was one of the leading Nordic composers during the first decades of the 20th century. His wide-ranging music for piano was performed and recorded by some of the greatest artists of the day. This third volume in the first complete cycle of Palmgren’s piano music on disc includes a varied cross-section of works written over a 50-year period. It includes the youthful Lyriskt intermezzo, Op. 8, romantic miniatures of great charm—as well as one of his greatest achievements, the atmospheric suite Kevät (‘Spring’), in which impressionist elements fuse with rich Finnish folk melody.

“For this volume I have chosen several early opuses, including Opp. 4 and 8, as well as the ‘Gavotte’ and ‘Musette ’(1898), alongside Palmgren’s late piano suite ‘Sun and Clouds, Op. 102’ (1942). In addition, the album contains Palmgren’s‘ Spring, Op. 27’ – a suite of seven pieces which also includes Palmgren’s most popular piano work, ‘May Night’. I would like to highlight the ‘Barcarolle, Op. 14’ – a small but great little piece with a very Nordic touch and totally complete in its form. Palmgren’s ‘Intermezzo for the Left Hand’ was the first Finnish piano piece written for the left hand alone. I do not know if Palmgren was aware of Brahms’ arrangement of Bach’s ‘Chaconne’ for the left hand (ca. 1877) or any other works for the left hand, but he has been able to make this work to sound very well. A casual listener might be surprised when trying to play this piece on the piano: it is not nearly as easy as it might sound!” — Jouni Somero
