¡Leevi Madetoja: Symphonies 1 & 3 Okon Fuoko Suite
¡John Storgards (conductor), Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Levi Madetja ( 1887-1947 ) was a well-known composer and music teacher from Oulu, Finland. This album contains his three symphonies No. 1 and No. 3 (the second symphony by Strug s and other works are included in ODE 1212). It is said that his works have a Scandinavian sentiment derived from his teacher Sibelius, a French elegance, and an Orientalism like "Okon Fuoco," which is said to be based on Japan. Symphony No. 1, premiered in 1916, has a very Sibelian grandeur, while Symphony No. 3, composed in 1925, has a more restrained and delicate beauty. In contrast, the Suite "Ocon Fuoco" has a vibrancy reminiscent of the music of Ravel and Prokofiev, and the sound of castanets coming from behind a mysterious soundscape has a mysterious quality that certainly evokes the image of a distant country, Japan.
