In
Kirmo Lintinen's Rondo
burlesque (2007-2008) for
bassoon and piano , the
qualitative elements of
the bar, with their
upbeats, accents and GPs,
create a refined musical
rhetoric and are very
much to the fore. At the
premiere, Lintinen's
manner of playing, with
its sparing use of the
pedal obscuring the first
beat but not the sense of
time, underlined the
inherent character of the
piece. The roguish poetic
metres gambolled jerkily
along, and although at
surface level the music
may appear guileless,
Lintinen knows his
polyphony, judging by the
capital roving of his
voices even in the
homophonic textures.
Kirmo Lintinen (b. 1967)
is a man of many musical
talents: composer,
pianist and conductor.
His catalogue encompasses
almost all gen-res 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.
