In November Klassinen Hietsu offers autumn ambience, as baritone Aarne Pelkonen and pianist Juho Alakärppä dive into the last song collections of the great composers Franz Schubert (1797—1828) and Jean Sibelius (1865—1957).

 

The program reveals the two composers both at their best and bare: after everything there remains only a sense of longing, “Sehnsucht” — “längtan.”
