Music for Hibernation
As winter settles in, Kathryn Tickell selects music for rest and relaxation, and Maija Kauhanen offers three essential tracks that feature her chosen instrument, the kantele.
As the year draws to a close and the Northern Hemisphere settles into the quiet embrace of winter, Kathryn Tickell selects music to help you slow down, rest, and recharge. Cozy up by the fire with some Winter Time Blues from pianist Big Maceo Merriweather, ethereal vocal music from New York-born, Tamil Nadu-raised Ganavya, and New Yearβs carols from Galicia and Poland. Plus award-winning Finnish musician Maija Kauhanen takes us on a journey into the world of the kantele - the traditional Finnish instrument she plays - with a trio of recommended tracks.
