Kuula's output for voice is strongly varied; earlier pieces are extroverted, heroic, and almost Wagnerian in style, whereas his mature songs show the influence of French impressionism and have a dark, macabre quality. At times, Kuula's songwriting is reminiscent of Mussorgsky, and perhaps this aspect of Kuula is uppermost in Tommi Hakala's mind when it comes to his interpretation of these songs, as he employs a rough-hewn, dramatic approach that resembles the manner in which great Bulgarian bass Boris Christoff delivered Mussorgsky's songs. Nevertheless, this is a mixed blessing; Hakala's voice is beautiful when he sings quietly, but most un-beautiful when he sings loudly, unfortunately this is the approach employed much of the time here. In some cases, it works; the song "Karjapihassa" (In the Cattleyard) begins quite literally with a cattle call, and a dramatic characterization of the kind Hakala calls into play compels this particular song with the macho force it needs. However, he should reserve his barking and bellowing for such obviously programmatic fare and not for Kuula's love songs -- they are fragile creations, and Hakala comes perilously close to breaking several of them just by virtue of sheer over-the-topness.
There are several songs here fully worthy of an international audience -- we'll mention the English language titles only -- "Long Gazed I Into the Fire," "Night on the Moor," "Fate," "Saturday Evening," "The Forest Maid," the strangely jazzy "Epilogue," and several others all stand out. As several of Kuula's songs were written with his second wife, legendary Finnish soprano Alma Silventonen, in mind -- particularly "Come, My Love," Kuula's most popular song in Finland -- perhaps it would have been a better idea to split this program between Hakala and a soprano; Ondine already has an excellent soprano in Monica Groop. However, Hakala has been on an upward trend ever since he won the Singer of the World competition in Cardiff in 2003, and this disc may have been intended to both show off Hakala's talents and to fill the gaping repertory hole for Kuula. Sometimes two heads aren't better than one; and in this case, Hakala scores a total knockout over Toivo Kuula's sensitive creations well before the disc's 19 rounds are up -- a pity. Make that a calamity.
