I have a recording of the Fabritius performance, broadcast by BBC Radio 3 in 2005. It's a very solid piece, well worth a hearing.

Have seen that concerto by Linko listed as broadcast on BBC Through-the-Night from time to time- haven't heard it yet... same performance, I think. There's also a YLE performance of Hero Heinonen playing Linko's opus 1 piano suite out there I gather. (Euroclassic Notturno gives the movements of the Linko op10 as "Allegro con brio; Moderato; Rondo alla finlandese" but doesn't mention the recording date. By 2004, of course, since Finnish Radio and BBC Through the Night broadcast it then if not also earlier.)

Linko also was the soloist at the premiere of Raitio's piano concerto opus 6 in 1914... hrm...

[Mark Thomas]

The Linko, also previously broadcast by BBC Radio 3, is a very engaging three-movement Rachmaninovian work lasting about 20 minutes. The finale is a Rondo a la Finlandaise. It dates from 1920.

It is indeed. So why isn't it better known?

So far as I am aware, it is not available on CD.

[eschiss1]

in fact it may be the only Linko work on a commercially available or once-available CD is 4 works for piano, including a sonatina, op23/1, Hommage à Domenico Scarlatti op.12, a Waltz, and a tango, performed by the composer, on the Fuga label (a 2003 disc)? not at all sure of the "only" there, but...
(ah. indeed, there's also a movement from the suite op.1 on a Finlandia disc from 1995. I think Tateno Izumi was the pianist.)
