The price tag is low, and he offers affectionate interpretations in rich and clear sound.

Oublions les westerns. Durant trois siècles, l'Amérique du Nord a été sillonnée, à l'échelle continentale, par des aventuriers de langue française. Coureurs de bois, trappeurs, interprètes, ces hommes, en quête de fourrures, se sont constamment mêlés aux Amérindiens.

All the pieces recorded here come from the 1920s, the period of the Sixth and Seventh Symphonies, and are rarities. Among the finest are the Five Sketches, which come from the very end of the decade and more among Sibelius’s last published works. They may be slight but they are highly individual and hive great finesse. The Village Church from Op. 103 has overtones of the Andante festivo for strings, and The Oarsman seems to ruminate on ideas in the Seventh Symphony.

But pieces like In Mournful Mood and Landscape from Op. 114 are curiously haunting. So is the rest of the Op. 114 set, and its neglect has been our loss.

Ces sociétés sont-elles plus ouvertes au principe de plaisir et aux pulsions sexuelles que les sociétés occidentales? L'ouvrage se penche particulièrement sur la tension existant parmi les Amérindiens et les Inuit entre, d'un côté, une sexualité d'apparence permissive qui peut acquérir un caractère public et décomplexé et, de l'autre, des pratiques strictement codifiées, souvent associées à des interdits. …
