Matti Salminen

Conductor:
John Storgards

Background: On this new recording, Matti Salminen performs rarities outside the standard repertoire and delivers a personal account of orchestral songs from Finnish composers. Accompanied by the Helsinki Philharmonic under its new chief conductor John Storgards, Salminen is completely at home singing this music.

Many of these songs about nature and love deserve greater attention or discovery, for which this exceptional disc forms a perfect vehicle.
