Kimmo Pohjonen’s CD ‘Uniko’ Selling Well, Helsinki – Finlandby Phillip Page |
 The CD ‘Uniko’ by Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and percussionist Samuli Kosminen, with the US-based Kronos Quartet, produced by Valgeir Sigurdsson and released by Ondine of Finland, is now in its fourth month in the World Music Charts Europe Top Ten, this month July 2011 in position Number 5. For May and June, ‘Uniko’ was at the Number 2 position after debuting at Number 6 in April. The ‘Six Degrees’ magazine of Finland reviewed ‘Uniko’ for their June issue: "For those who don't know, Kimmo Pohjonen is an unconventional accordion virtuoso from Finland, involved in many extraordinary projects. Now, Pohjonen, Samuli Kosminen and the Kronos Quartet join forces in an alluring performance of masterpiece magnitudes. The result is a great 52 minutes of otherworldly high not to be missed. ‘Uniko’ is currently in second position on the World Music Chart Europe, where it has been hanging on for the last three months. The CD contains seven chapters composed by Pohjonen and Kosminen. Critics have praised the record as ‘majestic’, ‘compelling’ and ‘hypnotic’. ‘Uniko’ is indeed all those and more."
