“Korpijaakko<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is clearly at home with the musical possibilities of the guitar with the solo guitar sonata Kimberley (2006), a standout as one of the most remarkable works of recent years for solo guitar composed in Finland.”
\nSo writes a critic in\u00a0FMQ<\/a>, Finnish Music Quarterly.
\nIntriguing, no?
\nHere is a\u00a0CD of guitar music by the Finnish guitarist and composer Paavo\u00a0Korpijaakko<\/a>\u00a0performed\u00a0Petri Kumela<\/a>\u00a0by which I think deserves to be better known
\n\"Nebula\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Here is a list of his works<\/a>, including the tremendous\u00a0La luna di paradiso (2010)<\/a>\u00a0for 100 guitars!
\n“Petri Kumela<\/a>\u00a0plays with breathtaking virtuosity and intensity throughout. He plays as if he has a proprietary interest in this music, and of course he does. Beautifully deep plush surround sound from Alba makes this even more a program and composer worth exploring for the adventurously inclined.”
