Soile Isokoski (soprano) & Marita Viitasaalo (piano) ‘She ranks among today’s finest sopranos by virtue of the fact
that her voice is one of the greatest in the world, hitting you in
the solar plexus each time you listen to it. On a concert platform,
however, she’s remarkably self-effacing, never indulging in
self-conscious histrionics and concentrating all her energies on
the expressive potential of the glorious sound that issues
from her throat’ Guardian | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Soile Isokoski (soprano) Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Leif Segerstam "A thrilling performance of Luonnotar in which Isokoski’s sonorous soprano is matched by atmospheric playing from the Finnish orchestra. The rest of the disc makes you wonder why Sibelius’s orchestral songs occupy one of the most unjustly neglected corners of his output." Erik Levi BBC Music Magazine  CD Review
