Conductor
John StorgardsAbout
Salminen's journey to his present status has been a long one. The son of a working-class family, he earned his living at first as a tango king on Finnish dance-floors. From the dance-floor his career has taken him to all the important opera houses of the world, to sing with conductors including Daniel Barenboim, James Levine, Nicolas Harnoncourt and Pierre Boulez.
On this new recording, Matti Salminen performs rarities outside the standard repertoire and delivers a personal account of orchestral songs from Finnish composers. Accompanied by the Helsinki Philharmonic under its new chief conductor John Storgårds, Salminen is completely at home singing this music. Many of these songs about nature and love deserve greater attention or discovery, for which this exceptional disc forms a perfect vehicle.
