    PCM 3 - 31.07.17: From the Kalevala to Kaustinen: Finnish Folk and Baroque Music

    13:00 Monday 31 July 2017
    Cadogan Hall

    Finnish folk music meets familiar Baroque textures in a programme exploring two genres with a shared love of song and dance.


    Anon: Piae Cantiones (1582) - 'Ramus virens olivarum'
    Andrew Lawrence‐King: Kalevala: the Opera (2016) -'Väinämöinen'
    Kreeta Haapasalo: Siionin kannel (1874) -'Kanteleeni' (arr. Lawrence-King)
    Andrew Lawrence‐King: Kalevala: the Opera (2016) - 'Sauna'
    Anon: Piae Cantiones (1582) - 'Gaudete'
    Konsta Jylhä: Jeremian Polska
    Trad: Polska
    Trad: Purppurin alotus
    Trad: Minäpä olen se laulajapoika
    Trad: Minä sydämestäni rakastin
    Trad: Ookkos syöny sianlihaa
    Trad: Kotimaani ompi Suomi
    Trad: Morsiusfatimarssi
    Trad: Silia valssi
    Trad: Keskipohjalainen polkka
    Trad: Markun Joonaan valssi
    Trad: Hyppytahti
    Wiljami Niittykoski: Joutsenet (Swans)
    Trad. & Arcangelo Corelli: Opera Quinta (1700) 'Lampaan polskaand La Folia'



    Anu Komsi (soprano)
    Kreeta-Maria Kentala (violin)
    Andrew Lawrence-King (harp, kantele, psaltery)
    Eero Palviainen (theorbo, guitar)
    Milla Viljamaa (harmonium)

    Soprano Anu Komsi and violinist Kreeta-Maria Kentala both have family roots in the folk-rich municipality of Kaustinen, western Finland. They are joined by fellow boundary-crossing musicians for a whistle-stop journey through Finnish musical history encompassing the 16th-century Piae cantiones (the earliest printed book of Finnish music) and the 19th-century national folk epic, the Kalevala, which so inspired Sibelius. The concert also features favourites by Corelli and other Baroque composers, as well as folk songs from Kaustinen and music by Kreeta Haapasalo (1813-93), who was born in the region.

    Quite an enterprising idea for aProms Chamber Music concert.

    But I do wish they wouldn't keep the programme a dirty little secret.

        They evidently don't want you to find out that half of it is Scottish!

        How did that happen?

          Thanks, Jean, pointing this out.

          I've added the programme items to the opening post.

              Have you tried the start of the Prom repeat that followed it? That may have the encore, with a bit of luck. I can't check it myself at the moment as I am listening to tonight's Prom via the binaural Taster, which is currently functioning, though who knows for how long.

              Just checked via another route. It is indeed there at the start of Afternoon on 3. It may well get edited to its rightful place by the iPlayer Team over the next day or so.

                I treasure a Hyperion compilation of different versions from their catalogue of La Follia and variations thereupon. Very disappointed that it doesn't feature the above

                Do catch it on Listen Again - it's a riot!
                I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                    Worth noting that the delightful Cadogan Hall concert will be repeated on R3, next Sunday, (6 Aug) at 13.00hrs.
