Customer Reviews:

Excellent soprano voice, excellent music.......2000-10-28

Mattila has a splendid voice even on the high notes - I often am not fond of sopranos but hers is a voice "to die for". The piano accompaniment is unobtrusive. I bought the album for the Kuula and Melartin works and was not disappointed. However, the folk songs are such fun it is hard not to prefer them. This is an excellent introduction to Finnish song.

Heartwarming Finnish Melancholy.......2000-04-07

For newcomers in Finnish (national) romantic songs, this is the perfect way to start. Mattila's voice is at its best in Merikanto (listen to especially "Mä elän" and "Omenankukat"). The Melartin and Kuula songs are beautifully sung, too. A real gem is the Folk song cycle arranged by Ralf Gothoni at the end of the disc.
