rumentally acrobatic
Buster! Caprice for
clarinet and piano
(2002-2003, rev. 2007) by
Kirmo Lintinen gives a
hint of ragtime, sings
romantically and makes
the fast changes of
articulations, dynamics,
registers, and timbres
musical counterparts of
the pantomime of virtuoso
actors in silent films.
Kirmo Lintinen (b. 1967)
is a man of many musical
talents: composer,
pianist and conductor.
His catalogue encompasses
almost all genres and
categories of
composition, from solo
work to opera, and he
operates with ease from
one to another without
being a crossover artist;
in his case, the
versatility is both
internalised and innate.
He often finds
inspiration in French
music of the 1920s and
its intrinsic musicality.
Humour and playfulness
are characteristic
elements of his music, as
are a natural, musicianly
approach and an
enchantingly
effervescent, even
tongue-in-cheek
texture.
