In the 1930s, as Günter Raphael (1903–60) found doors closing in his native Germany – he was half-Jewish – he was accorded a warm reception in Finland, where his music was heard in a series of broadcast concerts. There was a family connection, too: Raphael’s grandfather had taught Sibelius in Berlin, and Sibelius in turn helped open some Finnish doors for Raphael as performer as well as composer. Raphael acknowledged his welcome by incorporating Finnish material into his music, and his Op. 41 is a monumental organ triptych based on Finnish chorales, with two towering contrapuntal edifices either side of a Baroque suite.
