“We have really enjoyed during many years working with the record
company Alba. Alba comes from Finland. It’s a very forward-looking,
wonderfully fearless record company that does all sort of music: the
newest new, the oldest old, and practically everything in between, but
always with the best quality. We always get to work with the best
producers when we work with Alba Records. So, if you are interested in
music, please, be interested in Alba Records and what they do, they are
wonderful.”
--Sakari Oramo, conductor
Known for its quality discs, and the winner of numerous awards, Alba is the leading Finnish classical label. Featured in its catalogue are such world-class artists as conductors Sakari Oramo, Susanna Mälkki, and Hannu Lintu; guitarists Ismo Eskelinen, Petri Kumela, and Otto Tolenen; gambist Markku Luolajan-Mikkola; violinist Elina Vähälä; decacordist Mari Mäntylä; sopranos Marjukka Tepponen, Anu Komsi, and Helena Juntunen; pianist Janne Mertanen; the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra; the Oliphant Ensemble; Zagros; and the InTime Quintet.
