Jouni Somero - Selim Palmgren: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 3

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 Kev�t (�Spring�), in which impressionist elements fuse with rich Finnish folk melody.
