		The very powerful teacher/poet August Ahlqvist condemned Kivi's writing (Kivi means "stone" in Finnish; "Stenvall" is Swedish for "stone wall") as morally reprehensible, saying that characters in literature should be idealized, not presented as they really are.
		When Kivi (or one of his friends/disciples) is reciting (singing) one of Kivi's poems, it's positively lyrical.

		The Ondine label, though, has shown a steady commitment to his output, and is now making the operas as well as the orchestral music available on disc.
		Aleksis Kivi, based on the life of the early-19th-century writer who is regarded as the founder of Finnish-language literature, is Rautavaara's most recent opera to reach the stage (at Savonlinna in 1997).
		Indeed, without an artist of his stature to give weight and meaning to the endless stream of declamation, which has to be delivered over orchestral writing of film-score-like banality, the opera would be an even more deadening experience than it is anyway.

		He perceptively referred to Aleksis Kivi as “more extended meditation than music drama, with his plush orchestral manner gently buoying the voices along.
		I accept that Aleksis Kivi is more of a presentation of events than an emotionally evolving opera plot, with compensation (to my way of thinking) offered through a broader interpretation of reality.
		Certainly, there is little subjective pain reflected in the music of Aleksis Kivi, but there’s little of that in the libretto, as well.
