Uuno Klam’s Kalevala series, led by Dima Slobodeniouki, glowed with colors and moods.
Radio Symphony Orchestra at Musiikkitalo 10.5. Conductor Dima Slobodeniouk. Yeol Eum Son, piano. – Rachmaninov, Sibelius, Klami.
Sergei Rahmaninovin the second piano concerto begins directly with the opportunity for the pianist to show what to expect. You can always tell the best from the first note, and that’s the case now. Yeol Eum Son increases the tension from chord to chord towards a great romantic surge, but the balance between Radio’s symphony orchestra and the soloist is disappointing: the piano drowns in the mass.
Yeol Eum Son plays wonderfully, but the conductor Dima Slobodeniouk can’t really find a common vision; lacking – to put it in a trendy way – Tone of Voice, the choice of which tone the listeners would like to address. The radio symphony orchestra’s own musical culture is not very romantic, and that is exactly why the desired sound image should have been thought about more.
in South Korea born Yeol Eum Son is an excellent pianist. He shows it in all the places where it can be heard. How nicely he breathes in the melodic flow in the second part, weaving and interweaving themes. At this point, RSO’s detailed, precise Dialing Method also does a surprising favor: Eric Carmenin written by and especially Celine Dionin the hit made famous All by Myself has been made on top of this concerto part, but now it doesn’t surface at all.
What power and passion in Yeol Eum Son’s playing! Fortunately, the whole concert is in Yle Areena and the music will surely balance the balance.
by Jean Sibelius Wave girls, a tone poem for orchestra, was an excellent treatise on the movements of water and wind by a native composer. In the end, a nice storm was raised in Pielinen as well. After the waves calmed down, we moved on to the most refined work of the evening, Uuno Klamin handsome To the Kalevala series.
It’s great to be surprised The creation of the earth in the tone world. The skillful playing creates a buzz underneath and on top of the waiting atmosphere, a great eruption and organization takes place. Stravinsky Spring Sacrifice has certainly inspired and encouraged Klam to believe in his own work under the weight of Sibelius.
Oras of spring is a sensitive, recognizable description of growth and the increase of light. Terhenniemi-part restores the exciting colorism of the beginning. The skillful use of colors and rhythms reaches a touching climax Lemminkäinen’s lullaby after Sampo’s forge. Getting iron to be forged requires heating, you can literally feel the increase in heat until the birth of a wonderful object.
Skillful conducting and playing did full justice to Klam’s series.
