Toivo Kuula (1883-1918) : South Ostrobothnian Suite No. 1, for orchestra Op. 9 (1906-09)

[@maxmerry8470]

Good to hear this first suite. I do have the second suite on a CD of songs and orchestral works conducted by Martyn Brabbins but the upload here is new to me. And it is rather lovely. The first movement sort of enters "Swan Of Tuonela" territory, in my opinion that is. Great writing for orchestra throughout. I really like "Song Of The Dusk".......

Kuula was my grandfather's cousin.
