Mustonen’s Symphonies Album is Recording of the Month for Limelight magazine.
Olli Mustonen’s most recent album of his Symphonies No. 2 & 3, featuring Ian Bostridge and the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Olli himself, has been selected as Recording of the Month for Australian arts magazine Limelight.
Describing his composition style, Limelight writes “A masterly musical chameleon, Mustonen uses his depth of stylistic knowledge and his wide-ranging timbral palette to create symphonic canvases that are bound to have wide audience appeal.”
The album was released at the end of 2023 and comprises two of Olli Mustonen’s Symphonies: Symphony No. 2, “Johannes Angelos” and Symphony No. 3, “Taivaanvalot” (Heavenly Lights). The Third Symphony – ‘Taivaanvalot’– was developed from a chamber work for tenor, cello and piano, which was performed at the Wigmore Hall with Ian Bostridge as vocalist in 2019.
You can listen to the album on any streaming platform, including Apple Music and Spotify.
