Review by meastri cinithya putri

Sounds From Solitude Kantele Concerto by Gillian Stevens & Timo Väänänen is a beautiful and captivating album that showcases the unique sound of the kantele, a traditional Finnish instrument. The album features six original compositions by Stevens, which are performed with precision and emotion by Väänänen on the kantele.

The album opens with "The Call," a hauntingly beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Stevens' compositions are filled with intricate melodies and rhythms, which are expertly executed by Väänänen on the kantele. The album also features some stunning improvisations by Väänänen, which add an element of spontaneity and excitement to the music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Solitude," a deeply introspective piece that showcases the emotional range of the kantele. Väänänen's playing is both delicate and powerful, conveying a sense of loneliness and longing that is palpable.
