this recital will open up a new world for many a Sibelius enthusiast unfamiliar with these lovely songs.
[Kielland’s] rootedness works well in the context of a close recording with a small orchestra exceptionally conducted by Petr Popelka who points up the Nordic Noir in these gloomy poems. […] Best of all are ‘I natten’ (‘In the night’), where the plain upfrontedness of Kielland’s delivery works well with the tiptoeing orchestra; […] ‘En slanda’ (‘The Dragonfly’) with fine word-painting and good sense of the silences
These four cycles of Sibelius songs come from the 1890s and early 1900s. Like the contemporaneous First and Second Symphonies, a Romantic warmth pulsates from these rich, lyrical works. Mezzo Kielland balances purity and ardour perfectly.
