"Sibelius's songs are still under-exposed, their settings in Finnish
and Swedish perhaps creating a language barrier, but the programme
here, ranging through some of the best of them, shows that emotion can
transcend language. They are sung by Isokoski with a potent mix of
tenderness and passion, a richness of voice and subtle dynamic
inflections, with soaring lines beautifully floated and
tailored."--Geoffrey Norris,
