Autumn Poem                   George de Godzinsky

Godzinsky is the greatest composer of Finnish light classical music.  He was also a world class pianist, and the conductor of the Finnish Radio Orchestra.  Several times, he invited the late saxophone virtuoso, Eero Linnala, to solo with the orchestra, and dedicated three compositions to him.  Autumn Poem is one of these, an enduring example of the composer's lyrical and sophisticated style.       Olli-Pekka Tuomisalo
