Kalevi Kiviniemi presents "Fanfares," a captivating collection of pieces that blend the grandeur of classical music with the intimacy of personal expression. Released on June 7, 2023, under the label Kalevi Kiviniemi, this 48-minute album showcases the artist's virtuosity on the organ, accompanied by the brilliant trumpet in the opening suite.
The album begins with the "Suite for Trumpet and Organ," featuring three distinct movements: "Fanfare," "Berceuse," and "Vite." These pieces set the stage for a diverse journey through various musical landscapes. The suite is followed by "Pictures of Our Time," a reflective piece that invites listeners to contemplate the world around them.
Kiviniemi's interpretation of "Larghetto Op. 1" adds a touch of classical elegance, while the subsequent tracks "Bünde," "Kalletal," and "Wiedenbrück" offer a glimpse into the artist's connection to his roots, possibly inspired by places and experiences close to his heart.
The album culminates with "Lutte Pour La Vie," a three-movement suite comprising "Prélude," "Nocturno," and "Toccata." This powerful conclusion is followed by a tribute to Jeremiah Clarke, "To My Friend," and concludes with the serene "Evening Song - Retreat."
Kiviniemi's collaboration with other renowned artists, such as Andreas Brantelid and Bengt Forsberg, as seen in his performances of Gabriel Fauré's works, highlights his versatility and depth as a musician. "Fanfares" is not just an album; it's a testament to Kalevi Kiviniemi's artistry and a delightful exploration of music that spans from grand fanfares to intimate reflections.
