MUSIC REVIEW NORTHWEST CHAMBER ORCHESTRA WHEN: Friday night WHERE: Nordstrom Recital Hall The orchestra's tone is richer and has more depth, and ensemble work is now impeccable. Friday night under Gothoni, the violas had a notable presence to their sound, while the cellos were outstanding, playing as one warm and eloquent instrument. It was an unusual program. Two works took a look at Baroque forms with a more modern twist: Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite III, and Grieg's Holberg Suite, No. 3. Gothoni directed and performed Philip Glass' "Tirol" Concerto for piano and string orchestra, and his wife, Elina Vahala, was soloist in Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 (the "Turkish").

88. Lipsanen Art Collection | Collector's Profile life. Especially the cooperation with the pianist, conductor and composerRalf gothoni has proved out to be very fruitful. In 1986 http://www.lipsanengroup.com/gallery/collector.html

Collecting is saving objects from ravages of time and oblivion. Collecting is a way to pass on information and knowledge. Juhani Lipsanen's first objects of collecting were antique weapons and peasant utensils. It was the ability of craftsmen to bring esthetics into everyday life and to create objects that were both functional and beautiful in a timeless way that intrigued the young man. Guns and swords, tools of destruction, removed from their violent purpose of being spoke of different cultures and of the strangeness of human beings to include a sliver of esthetics not only to living but to dying as well. The stark beauty of peasant handicrafts evoked the presence of personal history - in the grooves and indentations the thumbprints of the makers and the users of the everyday objects could be felt. It was then when one of the main reasons for collecting crystallized in Juhani Lipsanen's mind: collecting was a way to remember and preserve. Collecting enables one to stand in the intersection of the international, the national and the personal. Collecting art is a thought process, a way to learn from life by assembling and reassembling esthetic objects, an avenue to striking visions and endless questions.

ELINA VÄHÄLÄ, violinist "The Finnish violinist Elina Vähälä gave a decisive and spirited debut. A thoughtful musician, she has all the technical accomplishment and confidence she needs to project her thoughts. Her intonation is sure and her tone fine, going all the way from a grainy, almost reedy insistence, but perfectly formed, to soft dabs of sounds. This range of color was especially useful in the Debussy Sonata - she made musical poetry with a nice robust edge to it. In her performance of the Brahms Sonata in D Minor, her delicacy of sound and rhythm in the third movement was marvelous. In the highly musical reading of this work, she breathed each movement, and even the whole sonata, as one." - THE NEW YORK TIMES "Elina Vähälä is a very good violinist with a solid technique and a pure, focused tone. Her reading of the Debussy Sonata was flexible and colorful. In the Brahms Sonata, she produced a lovely, warm, sustained tone in the slow movement, and the third movement was very driven and virtuosic. She really came into her own with a very striking, convincing performance of Preludes from Op. 34 by Shostakovich, arranged by Tsyganov. Vähälä's strong affinity for the music gave her tone resonance and variety and her playing had spontaneity, fire and expressiveness." - STRINGS MAGAZINE Click here to listen to Elina Vähälä perform the
