The Finnish contemporary composer Kalevi Aho's (b. 1949) fourth symphony from 1972-73 is here coupled with the composer's song cycle "Kiinalaisia lauluja" ("Chinese songs" - sung in Finnish, beautifully performed by Tiina Vahevaara) from 1997. This is contemporary music with a remarkable high musical quality and expressive impact - it is no wonder that Aho is regarded being Finland's leading composer of today. Because these two works are indeed original, deeply moving, powerful, and memorable.
Like many other contemporary composers, Aho is quite traditional in his harmonic style. That is, the style is 'traditional' in the shostakovian sense, looking backwards from a contemporary point of view.
The recording is clean and spacious, with perfect balance and detail, and the performance (Osmo Vänskä/Lahti Symphony Orchestra) is of course first class. Strongly recommended.
