	Rajaton a cappella vocal group
		Rajaton is one of Finland's most highly regarded vocal ensembles and it's only natural that they should want to sing the repertoire of the biggest musical group to ever come out of the region.
		Rajaton is an a cappella mixed sextet (3 women, 3 men) based in Helsinki, Finland, founded in 1997, that primarily performs music written especially for the group.
		Rajaton are a highly talented septet whose members are experienced choral singers with diverse musical backgrounds, most of whom studied singing either at the Sibelius-Academy or at the Pop/Jazz Conservatory in Helsinki.

	RARB Review of Rajaton - Joulu
		Consummate professionals, the six singers of Rajaton display the same enviable blend and light musical touch that made me praise their previous albums so effusively (not to mention pick them as my Picks of their respective years).
		Rajaton is like a very few, very special groups in terms of irreproachable musical skills.
		With their first three albums (the second and third of which I have heard), the sextet known as Rajaton (meaning "boundless" in Finnish) has established itself as one of the highest caliber a cappella ensembles working today.

		Rajaton has just released their seventh album, Rajaton sings ABBA with Lahti Symphony Orchestra, which topped the charts in Finland in its release week and sold platinum in a month.
		A vast majority of the songs in Rajaton's repertoire are originals, written by the group members themselves or by some of Finland's most respected contemporary composers and songwriters.
		Rajaton will continue to tour internationally, once again amazing all kinds of audiences with their combination of technical excellence, entertainment value, artistic depth - and pure passion for music.

		While Huutajat were the heavily hyped choir, Rajaton, who enthralled the audience in the second half of the concert were the true singers - an ensemble who gave a dazzling performance showing the boundless capacities of the human voice.
		Rajaton performed a number of originals by the young contemporary Finnish composer Mia Makaroff that emphasized harmony and a pure passion for music.
		Rajaton’s highly innovative performance and exquisite selection of programme material made the second half of an evening of new Finnish music a concert to remember.

	Rajaton Live - Madetoja Concert Hall, Oulu, Finland - 8 December 2003 - Review at Musical Discoveries
		Prior to the tour, Rajaton released a double Christmas album (for more see another review), so obviously the tour was perfectly timed in order to boost the sales of the album as well as the previous Rajaton albums.
		After the show Rajaton members came to sign albums and chat with people to the foyer, and despite of the lack of snow, the whole evening was stunning.
		My sincere wish is that this tour would not be Rajaton's last one, and that Rajaton could once make the Finnish a cappella Christmas music more known globally as well, both by releasing some Christmas music on CD and maybe having some Christmas concerts as well.

	Fred's Records - Newfoundland music a speciality
		Joulu is a two-disc set of Christmas music from Rajaton, a small mixed Finnish vocal ensemble whose name deserves to be spoken in the same breath as some really amazing groups.
		Some favorites include Jeesuslapsen joululahjat, whose gently rocking motion suggests melancholy but not lament (showing again the fine interpretive lines these singers are able to tread, as if walking on water); En esti valtaa, loistoa; and especially Toivioretkellä, which introduces lovely lone baritone and soprano melismata only to combine them into a gorgeous ending.
		I was able to spend so much time trying to imagine the meanings of each song, precisely because questions like blend, tuning, and energy never had the chance to be raised.

		“Rajaton” is the only professional a-cappella group in Finland and has already become legendary in their home country.
		The name “Rajaton”, which denotes “unbounded” in Finnish, adequately describes their repertoire which reaches from sacred music to pop music, folk songs and all the way to contemporary composers.
		As their repertoire naturally pertains mainly to Finnish literature, they are planning to include several German and English pieces for their appearance in the Arithmeum.

		Having become almost a synonym for a cappella music in Finland, vocal group Rajaton casts eye abroad, as the english translation of its name, "Boundless", implies.

		Two of Rajaton's male singers have also taken part to making the arrangements of the chosen Abba songs, so the entire team of musicians do indeed know what they are doing here.
		Or, in other words, the music is both faithful to the unique, personal style of the original Abba group, but yet still Rajaton and the others have successfully added their own marks to the songs to give the listener something new to discover when listening.
		A beautiful example of these skills is Rajaton's rendition of "The Winner Takes It All", where the soprano Essi Wuorela really comes to her own, managing to touch the listener from deep within.

		But this Finnish sextet combines exquisite artistry with the ability to function equally well in both popular and serious music—which is all the more surprising when you consider that Chydenius, who writes a good part of Rajaton’s material, has no formal training in composition or arranging.
		Chydenius allows that Rajaton enjoyed some early success because the aforementioned rock band, Don Huonot, was one of Finland’s most accomplished.
		In fact, Chydenius notes that the members of Rajaton have pretty much given up playing drums, piano, guitar, and other such prosaic devices.
