Review by Robert Gilmore, Sr.

The album Messenius And Lucia Opera In Two Acts by Olli Kortekangas Hannu Niemelä, Päivi Nisula, Essi Luttinen, Oulu Symphony Orchestra, Arvo Volmer is a captivating masterpiece that brings the story of two legendary characters to life. The album is a blend of beautiful melodies and powerful vocals that take the listener on a journey through the lives of Messenius and Lucia.

The Oulu Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Arvo Volmer, delivers a flawless performance that perfectly complements the vocals of Hannu Niemelä, Päivi Nisula, and Essi Luttinen. The orchestra's use of different instruments adds depth and emotion to the music, making it a truly immersive experience.

The album's two acts are well-structured, with each act having its own unique style and theme. Act One is filled with lively tunes that capture the excitement and energy of the characters, while Act Two is more somber and introspective, reflecting the darker moments in the story.
