New CD featuring Mikko Luoma, Helsinki – Finlandby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
‘Tiensuu’ is the title of a new CD by ‘Plus Ensemble’, released on the Finnish lable Alba. ‘Plus Ensemble’ is a trio comprising Mikko Luoma – accordion, Erkki Lahesmaa – cello, and Christoffer Sundqvist - clarinet. The compositions are by Jukka Tiensuu, who also performs on the CD as a pianist. Jukka Tiensuu (born 1948) is among the most important Finnish composers, and he has written a substantial amount of music for the accordion since 1977: two concertos, solo pieces and chamber music. Mikko Luoma has recorded previously his solo pieces ‘Aufschwung’ and ‘Zolo’, and his recording of the accordion concerto ‘Spiriti’, by Tiensuu (together with the Avanti! chamber orchestra, conducted by Susanna Mälkki) was given the title ‘CD of the Year’, by the Finnish broadcasting company Yle in 2009.
