I wish I could have been with you and your other Finnish friend at that concert. Though I know of Kaija Saariaho and have the DVD of her opera L'Amour de Loin, I've not heard any of her work live. The Leino Songs I gather are based on the poems by Finland's national poet Eino Leino, and I'd dearly love to hear more than the link you gave. I think I'll have to buy some CDs!<br /><br />Thanks so much also for the link to Teju's amazing words on Sibelius. I have much to still learn about my native country's music so it's always interesting to read what non-Finns have to say about it. The music education there certainly has been world recognized.marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.com
