Adam Johnson - Toivo Kuula: Complete Works for Solo Piano

Finnish composer and conductor Toivo Kuula was a student of Sibelius, and pieces such as the majestic Juhlamarssi (�Festive March�) share the great master�s national flavour while the descriptive folktales of Satukuvia create their own beautifully romantic atmosphere. Kuula�s piano music is notable for its vast array of colour and variety of style, from the melancholy Surumarssi (�Funeral March�) (from Six Pieces, Op. 26) to the lighthearted Schottis (�Scottish Dance�), while countless Finnish couples have been married to the accompaniment of Kuula�s H��marssi (�Wedding March�).
