Selim Palmgren was one of the most celebrated pianist-composers in the years before the end of the First World War. His vast catalogue of piano music, much of it unknown, is showcased in this acclaimed series performed by Jouni Somero, the Finnish composer’s greatest modern exponent.This volume features the virtuosic and demanding Fantasie, Op. 6, one of Palmgren’s most compelling works, as well as examples of music irradiated by Impressionism and Nordic folklore. Miniatures including tudes, waltzes, and pieces that exude Chopinesque charm are also featured.
