Very attractive soundbites. I'm immediately interested. Many thanks, Alan.
You can listen to a live recording of the Hannikainen here:

I am sorry that they did not record the Launis quartet which they performed back in 2008. My recording of the quartet was marred by technical problems.
I remember being very curious about the movement headings of the Hannikainen at the time, having been unable to turn up much information about the piece - manuscript, score, performance reports, anything - that might clue me in...
