Editor's info:
As my career has progressed, I have had the chance to make numerous recordings featuring a variety of repertoires, and I have always felt the desire to record the songs of Sibelius. A wonderful opportunity presented itself when the Norwegian Radio Orchestra with Chief Conductor Petr Popelka expressed its willingness to be part of such a recording. Virtually all Sibelius songs are written for voice and piano, but many of them seem as though made for orchestral sounds and instrumental subtlety. Therefore a number of his finest songs have fortunately been orchestrated, and it is these editions we have used for this recording. A few of the orchestrations were done by Sibelius himself, one by his contemporary, Simon Parmet (né Pergament), while several were orchestrated by his own son-in-law, conductor Jussi Jalas. This album presents orchestrated songs of Sibelius from four opus numbers: 17, 36, 37 and 38.

BBC Music Magazine * * * * *
Like the contemporaneous First and Second Symphonies, a Romantic warmth pulsates from these rich, lyrical works. Mezzo Kielland balances purity and ardour perfectly.

FanfareMar
[Kielland] She has a bright tone extending into the soprano range; she sings fearlessly and passionately, flying to high notes as if they pose no risk. Finally, her timbre is beautiful, given added brightness by a fast vibrato.

Gramophone Magazine
Attractive singing, good musicianship and general sensitivity help make up for that, and create an album whose constituent parts might not beat others but do endear as a whole.

The Guardian
Keilland’s even tone, flexibility and brilliant sensitivity to the text make this a rewarding collection, the intensity and drama of each song powerful and impassioned.
