ANNA-KARIN KORHONEN
Avertere
Plastinka PLACD 058 (2008)

Korhonen’s own pieces featuring her electric concert kantele’s deep bass and metallically ringing high strings in carefully worked out arrangements with fiddle, accordion and drums that meander and swing gently, well played and pleasant in a background-music sort of way but without arriving at a picture or climax. www.plastinka.fi
