This bewitching collection features flautist Sami Junnonen joined by a kantele ensemble in performances that premiere original works along with fascinating transcriptions. The kantele, indigenous to Finland and Karelia, is related to the dulcimer and the sonic textures of this unusual combination of instruments makes for a programme that is never less than enthralling.
