Lahti Symphony Orchestra * Aho: Sym No. 17 [New CD] Box Set Autumn Leaves4The prolific Finnish composer Kalevi Aho periodically undertakes large scale compositions that showcase the full breadth of his artistic abilities. The Symphony No. 17 exemplifies this tendency, representing his most ambitious orchestral work to date. The symphony requires a substantial orchestra, incorporating less common instruments such as the lupophone, a variation of the baritone oboe, and the contraforte, an acoustically enhanced contrabassoon.
