A tasty looking selection indeed, Andrei. I've been meaning to check those Palmgren recordings too, I've neglected his music so far.

Cechalova is a not that great a singer, as a comparison with Bernarda Fink's recording of 3 songs from B23 shows. But for the other songs here, Cechalova appears to be the only singer recorded.

[Biffo]
