Uuno Klami (1900-1961) is probably the most significant composer to come out of Finland after Jean Sibelius. His music does occasionally partake of some of Sibelius's moody atmospherics, but Klami also has absorbed quite a lot from Debussy. His Symphony 1, composed in 1937-38, is more classically structured than any symphony by Sibelius and he relies on unusual chord arrangements that nonetheless evoke their own Scandanavian landscape. Not an easy feat. The overture to King Lear (1945) is all that survives of an aborted stage production and an earlier four-piece suite. It's not as depressing as you'd think it'd be. --Paul Cook
