Description: This tribute to a Finnish pianist and teacher contains 64 minutes of repertoire available nowhere else on disc with Jolivet's eerie and moody triptych, which dates from 1935 - only seven years after the creation of the Ondes Martenot, leading the way. Bergman's two works, from 1944 and 1991, show his stylistic progression from tonality to the avant-garde and Merilainen's (1966) shows his own personal modernist idiom. 3 CDs. Liisa Pohjola (piano).
