		A hallmark of Merikanto's style and interest was the incorporation of Finnish folk music into his works, including the organ music on this disc.
		Upon the death of HÃ¤mÃ¤lÃ¤inen soon after, Merikanto returned to Helsinki to succeed his former teacher at the cantor and organ school, and eventually assumed the major post as organist of the Johannes Church in Helsinki, where he remained for over 30 years (1892–1924).
		Perhaps Merikanto can be considered an anachronism at the turn of the twentieth century, an era when composers would begin to throw away tradition for anything new and unusual.

		Merikanto is best remembered for the dozens of evergreen songs and piano miniatures that he wrote, but he was also an organist, a pianist, a conductor, an educator and a critic.

		Merikanto´s stay in Moscow opened his eyes to the potential of colour through Scriabin´s music, which made an deep impression on him.
		Merikanto´s music is a fascinating blend of Romantic origins with Impressionist and Expressionist elements, now lyrical and colourful, now bursting with energy.
		Merikanto´s music did not reache the audience how ever and many of his important works, including the opera Juha, were never performed during his lifetime.

		Rautavaara's "Fiddlers" is a very original piece (5 tracks), but for me the favourite of these Favourites must be "Finnish Prayer" by Kuusisto, which encapsulates beautifully and emotionally the hard-working and often warm-hearted nature of this under-valued nation and people.

		In his heyday, Oskar Merikanto (1868-1924) was the leading organ virtuoso in Finland and also was an influential teacher.
		While his original works for the instrument often incorporate Finnish hymns, Merikanto's style, with its traditional parameters and contrapuntal earnestness, is rooted in Germanic rigor.
		You probably could pass off Merikanto's transcriptions of Bach's E minor Sarabande from the Fifth English Suite and D minor Sarabande from the D minor French Suite as Bach originals; but Schumann's Evening Song (Op.

		In the 1920s Merikanto composed an opera Juha, some chambermusic, several orchestral pieces and a vocal work with orchestral accompaniment entitled Ekho.
		In 1930s Merkikanto changed his music to more simple style, but did still compose several great works.
		The four-movement suite Kyllikin ryöstö (The Abduction of Kyllikki) 1935, is generally thought of as the opening of more conventional phase in Merikanto´s work.

	Records International Catalogue June 1998
		Son of Oskar Merikanto, Finland's first opera composer, Aarre determined to stay as far out of his father's path as possible.
		He studied in Leipzig with Reger but was most influenced by a stay in Moscow where he was overwhelmed by the orchestral colorism of Scriabin and his Russian compatriots.
		Merikanto's late period is represented by the remaining works (1932, 1933 and 1937), miniature character pieces which show a compression of form and instrumentation in which the memory of Impressionism is still evident.

		Although, slow rhythm in the interpretation of the Passacaglia leads threw an intimate climate of expression a bit far from the "style" of the basic repetitive scheme of the piece.
		Curious am I figuring the interpreter taking example from Rosalinde Haas in Reger's "Introduction and Passacaglia" in F minor op 63 as a model of intensity and rhythm, despite the fact Merikanto was far away from Reger's deep style.
