This booklet presents the home of Jean and Aino Sibelius. The text provides a guide to the museum and only touches briefly on the personal history and life’s work of Jean Sibelius. After the death of their parents in 1972 Aino Sibelius’s daughters sold most of the property and its buildings to the Finnish State, including the complete interiors, furniture, works of art and the library with its collection of published music. The home was converted into a museum opening in 1974, and the interior was kept as it was during Jean and Aino Sibelius’s time.

Andy Pape, born in California in 1955, came to Denmark at the age of fifteen. With his chamber opera The Great Houdini, Pape had an unusual musical breakthrough in 1988. His catalogue as a composer includes instrumental theatre compositions as well as orchestral and chamber music with a fondness for distinctive instrument combinations and frequent use of percussion. This opera was conceived after Pape was captivated by the sound of two women’s voices together, Maria Stenz and Edith Guillaume. Although they were trained in seperate traditions (classical opera and the chanson/cabaret tradition), he thought they sounded extraordinarily good together.

Deh 2 contains traditional yoiks, Sami chants, from Deatnu (Tana or Teno). The Yoiker is 76 year old Ivvar Niillas. Other than a singer, he is a reindeer herder, salmon fisher, a hunter, and a peasant farmer. Yoik is the Sami, Laplandic way, of singing or chanting. There are yoiks for persons, animals, and landscapes. The musical modus of yoiks is totally different from what is known in Euro-American music. Some say that yoiks are the oldest musical tradition still alive in Europe.

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)Piano Concerto in A minor, Op.161. I. Allegro molto moderato2. II. Adagio3. III. AttaccaKarol Szymanowski (1882-1937)Symphony No.4 Op.60 “ œSinfonia concertante“ for piano and orchestra4. I. Moderato (Tempo commodo)5. II. Andante molto sostenuto6. III. Allegro non troppo ma agitato ad ausioso This coupling of the well-known Grieg piano concerto with the rarely heard Szymanowski symphony makes sense when one realizes that the latter, in three movements, is subtitled "Sinfonia concertante" for piano and orchestra. Among the folk sources from which Szymanowski drew in the work was the vigorous fiddle music of the Tatra region of Poland. The pianist is a Chilean who has developed an international reputation and has recorded extensively for Arte Nova.

Between 1989-2002, Grøndahl photographed sixteen Danish composers spanning four generations. The result is this beautiful, gigantic book, portraits of the individuals, their environment and their music. A stunning book. Composers included are Carl Nielsen, Herman D. Koppel, Vagn Holmboe, Ib Nørholm, Per Nørgård, Karl-Åge Rasmussen, Poul Ruders, Anders Nordentoft, Eva Noer Kondrup et al. In the case of Carl Nielsen, since he is no longer alive the choice was to photograph the landscape in which he grew up and lived, which was his main inspiration.

When Norwegian composer Frederick Delius (1862-1934) met Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) for the first time, it was the beginning of a long and deep personal friendship that survived until their deaths. Now, for the first time, the entire correspondence of their letters, with the fascinating insights which they offer into some extraordinary lives, has been brought together and arranged here in chronological order, and widely commented upon. A glimpse into their deep occasionally troubled lives of emotion.

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) brilliantly utilized Norwegian folk music to create compositions remarkable for their originality, impressionistic harmonies, and melodic richness. Included here are Grieg's own arrangements of his enormously popular Peter Gynt Suites 1 & 2 (with such favorites as 'Morning Mood' and 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'); the four Norwegian Dances. Op.35, displaying strong folk-music influence; the elegant and urbane Walt- Caprice, Op. 37; and the exuberant 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen,' Op. 65, No.6, a four-hand arrangement of one of Grieg's best-loved Lryic Pieces.

Violin Concertoin D minor, Op.471. I. Allegro moderato2. II. Adagio di molto 3. III Allegro, ma non tanto Symphony No.5 in E flat major, Op. 824. I. Tempo molto moderato. Allegro moderato (ma poco a poco stretto). Vivace molto. Presto5. II. Andante mosso, quasi allegretto6. III. Allegro moltoCurrently leader of the English Chamber Orchestra (and formerly of the prize-winning Vellinger Quartet), violinist Stephanie Gonley has appeared as a soloist with many of the leading orchestras in the UK. She gives an especially dreamy, sensual interpretation of the first movement of Sibelius's violin concerto, written in homage to the great Romantic tradition. Epic-heroic writing characteristic of the Romantics also imbues the outer movements of his Fifth Symphony, which is leavened with an Andante in variation form, pastoral and cheerful in mood.
