Helena Juntunen, Eveliina Kytömäki

Cäcilie, Op.27 Nr.2 sehen in

Helena Juntunen makes an impressive Wigmore Hall debut

Evan Dickerson, 15th September

My first encounter with the Finnish partnership of Helena Juntunen and her accompanist Eveliina Kytömäki was as participants in the 2007 Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. Back then, I noted how accomplished Helena Juntunen was as a recitalist, whilst Eveliina Kytömäki was an idiomatic and sympathetic pianist who brought out the feeling in all she played.
