About

Kari Kriikku's passion for traditional folk music shines through 'Bizarre Bazaar', his new album. The eclectic programme showcases the use of clarinet in Jewish klezmer, Portuguese fado, Argentinean tango and Arab music. "I have followed my instincts in gradually bringing together works from various cultures that have impressed me on my travels and then unabashedly adapted those works for concert use," says Kari Kriikku, who performs here with the chamber orchestra Tapiola Sinfonietta and additional oud, qanun and laud players. The Finnish press hailed their live performances as "vibrantly energetic and entertaining" (Helsingin Sanomat).

Hailed by press and public as one of the world's foremost clarinettists, Kari Kriikku is celebrated for his musical inventiveness and fresh attitude towards traditional performance. He has been a muse to composers such as Magnus Lindberg, Kaija Saariaho and Kimmo Hakola.
