A wonderful collection of modern Finnish songs for children's choir. Nothing child-like here : the stark poetry of Sallinen's songs of the sea, or Wessman's "Water is weary under the snow" are complemented by settings that are vocal but by no means simple. Stunning performances, and haunting poetry.
