Emma Salokoski with Ilmiliekki: Joulu Joulu Jul

Read "Joulu Joulu Jul" reviewed by Anthony Shaw


If you are looking for a novel way of approaching the December 2022 festive season, musically speaking, and are not deterred by a mixture of Nordic languages, then this album may appeal.

It was inspired, writes composer/arranger Mikko Hassinen, by 2006 Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk's book, My Name Is Red, set in sixteenth-century Istanbul.
