Sibelius: "Svarta rosor", Kerstin Meyer (mezzosoprano), Jacqueline Bonneau, piano, 1959 repaired.

Perhaps the key song out of all Janne's key songs. Brings the first recording of this from 1904 to my mind, by Janne's brother-in-law Armas Järnefelt and his wife Maikki Pakarinen. It should not be possible to overload the acoustic recording system but Maikki did it in the conclusion, like the soloist does in many places here too, I cleaned up the worst of the distortion. I was going to congratulate the singer for her perfect Swedish, but she was Swedish already. "Kerstin Margareta Meyer 1928-04-03 — 2020-04-14 Opera singer, principal Kerstin Meyer was a Swedish mezzosoprano, an opera and concert singer. Her career spanned three decades.
