Conductors' Edition - New book on Finnish works for chamber orchestra

In a new Fimic publication 'Conductors' Edition: Finnish Works for Chamber Orchestra' five young Finnish conductors has chosen their own 35 favourites from the Finnish Chamber orchestra repertoire. Hannu Lintu, Susanna Mälkki, Dmitri Slobodeniouk, John Storgårds and Jani Telaranta tell about the pieces they have a special connection as a conductor, and in many cases they have given the premieres of the works.

The selection is varied in style and scope: the separate pieces vary from hardcore Modernism to the softer pluralistic music. The instrumentation varies from small ensembles for full sinfonietta.

The main aim of the publication is to help conductors and programme planners to find Finnish gems to their repertoire.

The focus in texts lies in technical facts of the individual pieces but the publication will give also an interesting insight view for general readers.

'Conductors' Edition' is published in two version: in print and in an internet version. The net edition contains also many short sound samples.
