The orchestral arrangements of Kaj Chydenius Memorial Concert gave the ears, writes critic Harri Römpöt.
The highlight of the concert was Jussi Chydenius sang you, I love you.
Both soloists have fine sounds, but they were mixed a little too loud.
It would be great to have a similar concert from Kaj Chydenius’ political side, Römpötti writes.
Concert
If you love – Kaj Chydenius’ songs at the Music House: Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra Director Tomas Djupsjöbacka and soloists Jussi Chydenius and Oona Airola.
Kaj chydenius (1939-2024) was the big characters in the political song movement in the 1960s and 1970s. However, the sold -out memorial concert of the Music House emphasized love.
The highlight of the whole concert was Jussi Chydenius sang You, I love youheard as a plush cinematic version. In some places it brought to mind the James Bond songs.
Kaj chydenius composed his songs for the poet’s texts. You, I love you based on Aulikki Oksanen like many other concert songs.
The evergreen ended the first half. Immediately after the interim, Oksanen praised the arrangements and I think he was dry in his eye. Jussi Chydenius mentioned him as one of his father’s most important poets.
Jussi Chydenius designed a 85th anniversary concert for his father last October in Oulu. However, Kaj Chydenius died in April. In Helsinki, a skillful version of the concert was accompanied by a Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra.
Jussi Chydenius said that for most of his gigs, his father played the piano and story. The boy was often alongside his father. So the orchestral arrangements were new – and ears.
Anu Kaipainen poetry classic Rod opened the second half. A bit of arola Singing a fitting that started slow and wicked, but was only reduced to delicate jazz, accompanied by piano, drums and electric bass.
Actor and singer Airola is part of the Kokkola Airolo cultural family. His brother is Aaro “Arppa” Airola. Oona Airola also performed, among other things I am happy song, performed at a young age at the 70th anniversary concert of Kaj Chydenius.
Among other things, Jussi Chydenius has played drums in Don’s bad and sings bass borderless. His brother Kalle Chydenius played bass at the concert.
Both soloists have fine sounds that had even been mixed up too much over the orchestra. Perhaps so emphasized the lyrics that were essential to Kaj Chydenius.
Concert rarities represented youthful work Va Koskenniemi poetry Nightwhich Chydenius did at the quartet he founded in high school at the age of 15.
Of course, politics also chopped. It was represented especially Elvi Sinervo composed of poetry and agit-proping Natalia. It refers to Ukraine in the Second World War of Germany. So it sounded topical.
Thousands of song production in one evening cannot be done comprehensively. It would be great to have a similar concert from Kaj Chydenius’ political side.
The ethos of the old left -wing intelligence would be necessary now that the right -wing government is damaging Finnish culture.
If you love concert will be renewed at the Music House in October.
