Ralf Gothoni - Sibelius: Works for Piano (SECOND-HAND CD)

This CD features piano compositions by Jean Sibelius and was released in 1995 by the acclaimed Finnish record label Ondine (ODE 847-2), featuring the distinguished pianist Ralf Gothóni as the soloist. The album highlights Sibelius's piano repertoire, which is often overshadowed by his orchestral works, focusing particularly on the dramatic, national romantic three-part suite Kyllikki (Op. 41) and the delicate Barcarola (Op. 24, No. 10). Gothóni's interpretations have been praised for their deep insight and ability to bring out the unique, often dark-toned, and sensitive Scandinavian atmosphere of Sibelius's piano music.
