Nils-Aslak Valkeapää : Pohjoiset vuodenajat mezzosopraanolle ja pianolle / The Northern Seasons for mezzo-soprano and piano

Composer Kaj Chydenius (1939-2024) and Sami poet Nils-Aslak Valkeapää (1943-2001) celebrated their friendship with collaboration, the song cycle Pohjoiset vuodenajat (The Northern Seasons, 1989) being the most handsome result. The four poems tranlated in Finnish by Anneli Rosell depict the seasons.
