Virpi Räisänen, one of Finland's most internationally sought-after mezzo-sopranos, has released a new album! Räisänen combines her talent as a violinist-singer on the new release. The Trasparente album consists of songs composed or arranged for Räisänen, and they are now recorded for the first time while playing and singing at the same time. This Virpi's virtuoso like way of performing has become known as the Viulaja project.'The Trasparente album was born from my wish to document pieces composed for my unique combination, where I'm searching for the limits of expression in managing two simultaneous instruments. This challenge has also seemed to fascinate composers to whom I have presented my project and who have wanted to compose pieces for Viulaja.' Räisänen says.
