Griffyr IMU-CD 075           

This CD by Eija Kankaanranta showcases a number of kantele works that could be described as ‘deconstructive’. They replace the standard idealistic bliss of National Romanticism with new aesthetic approaches, new styles
and textures, new sounds and techniques. Some composers do this through a cool detachment and carefully considered structures, while others employ sensitivity, a feeling for sound and an outpouring of emotion. Indeed,
Griffyr demonstrates how Modernism — post-Serialism and certain neo-tonal trends — has finally turned an eye toward the kantele.
