MA Numminen - JL Runeberg Bonden Pavo Fänrik Ståls Sägner

Review by Bucktee

MA Numminen's album JL Runeberg Bonden Pavo Fänrik Ståls Sägner is an eccentric and unique musical experience. The album features Numminen's interpretations of the works of Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg, who is best known for his epic poem "The Tales of Ensign Ståls."

Numminen's voice and musical style are both quirky and unconventional, which adds an interesting dimension to the classic poetry. The album features a mix of spoken word and music, with Numminen's voice taking center stage. The musical accompaniment is minimal, but effective in creating a mood and supporting the poetry.

Throughout the album, Numminen's delivery is engaging and expressive, bringing the characters and stories of Runeberg's tales to life. The lyrics are in Swedish, which may be a barrier for some listeners, but the emotion and energy in Numminen's performance transcends language.

JL Runeberg Bonden Pavo Fänrik Ståls Sägner is a fascinating and entertaining album that showcases MA Numminen's unique musical style and interpretation of classic Finnish poetry.
