Marko Rubel

Marko Kupari, born in 1975 at Kaustinen, Finland, began his studies in playing the organ under the instruction of Markku Vuori at the Conservatory of Keski-Pohjanmaa and the Music Lyseum of Kaustinen. Since 1994 he studied in the Degree programme of Church Music at Sibelius Academy, Helsinki. His instructor in organ studies was Markku Heikinheimo.

Cellist Marko Ylönen has recorded a beautiful double album containing Bach’s six suites for solo cello. On the album, Ylönen wants to emphasize the way in which the different series work together in a dialogue. That is why he does not play them in their numerical order, but creates an experience that takes the listener from the world of passion in the fifth series to the joyful tones of the last sixth series. The clear musical structure and the affect of the musical characters and gestures combine in Ylönen’s performance. His interpretation of the Bach suites tells the listener something invaluable, touching and timeless.

Con questo Vol. I d'una Opera Omnia ancora in corso, arriviamo subito alla piena maturità dell'importante musicista finlandese, ma anche forse del Meta4, importante quartetto connazionale: direi che si son fatti un regalo reciproco con questa produzione, ovviamente Ondine. Seppure resta per me sospeso il giudizio se queste possano essere delle interpretazioni di riferimento.
