Kirmo Lintinen's Concerto for Guitar is charming music that bubbles on with an unresisting power. The elegant whirls of waltz and dreamy sections lead to a folk-dance-like finale. The piano reduction is prepared by the composer...

In Ballata Concertante (2015-2016) Lintinen looks back in time, to the Italy of the "trecento" and specifically the Renaissance Florence. The music of the trecento may provide the starting point for stylistic allusions but it is anything but a one-to-one correspondence...

C.I.D. puhallinkvintetille on kolmiosainen teos, jonka osat tosin ovat kasvaneet toisiinsa kiinni. C (= Canon) on neliääninen kaanon, missä ensimmäinen ääni on tekstuurin ylimpänä. Loput kolme transponoituvat tästä alaspäin puhtaan kvartin, oktaavin ja...

In Kirmo Lintinen's Rondo burlesque (2007-2008) for bassoon and piano , the qualitative elements of the bar, with their upbeats, accents and GPs, create a refined musical rhetoric and are very much to the fore...

Comissioned by Juvenalia Music Institute for a chamber music competition in 2012, Patikka ("Trek") for piano trio (2011) is a perfect chamber music piece for young players. Idiomatic writing and clear, memorable characters create a transparent texture...

Instrumentally acrobatic Buster! Caprice for clarinet and piano (2002-2003, rev. 2007) by Kirmo Lintinen gives a hint of ragtime, sings romantically and makes the fast changes of articulations, dynamics, registers, and timbres musical counterparts of the pantomime of virtuoso actors in silent films...

In his work Palindrome for piano (2000), Kirmo Lintinen has chosen a predetermined form: perfectly mirrored symmetry, and he makes it work wonderfully! Lintinen is not interested in hidden structures and working with minutiae, but rather lets the palindromic...

The air is heavy with flashy comments, when the flute, the bassoon and the piano start their debate in “Storm in a Teacup” (2014) by Kirmo Lintinen (b. 1967). Only 4'30'' of length, this virtuosic trio finds the piece after the grand rampage...
