__________________________________________ THE WORLD LOVES MOOMIN
The Moomintrolls have conquered millions of hearts around the world ever since Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001) released her first Moomin children's book in 1945.
THE MOOMINTROLLS AND MOOMIN VALLEY
Moomintroll is a kind little creature, who lives with his father Moominpappa and mother Moominmamma in the Valley of the Moomins. Moomintrolls have become a huge success with their individualistic characters, sophisticated humor, and deep sense of freedom. Although Jansson's works have gained worldwide popularity among children, the Moomintrolls are also much appreciated by adults due to a universal message, which can be felt on numerous levels and depths.
TEXT, ILLUSTRATIONS, MUSIC
In the Moomin stories, Tove Jansson achieved a perfect balance between text and illustrations. Songs by Erna Tauro and lyrics by Jansson became the core for Moomin music in the 1950's and 60's on the theater stage.
MUUMILAULUJA
Muumilauluja is the first recording of the original Moomin songs in Finnish. This album features embellished arrangements of the classic songs interpreted by the vocalists Mirja Makela, Eeppi Ursin and Johanna Grussner. They are accompanied by strings, flutes, recorder, piano, vibes, bass and percussion.
Muumilauluja is released in the honor of painter and author Tove Jansson's 90th birthday.
