The Laiho Trio information

The Laiho Trio was formed by three brothers, Altti U. Laiho (1939 Pori – 2017 Ulvila), Veikko O. Laiho (b. 1942) and Pentti K. Laiho (b. 1944). According to many experts, the trio was extremely unusual in its composition, repertoire, and virtuosity.^[1]^[2]^[3] ^[4] The repertoire of the trio consisted of big symphony orchestral compositions arranged for three accordions.^[5] The brothers grew up in the city of Pori, in southwestern Finland, but they made their main career in the United States where they lived for years.

^ Tony Chiapparin, composer, professor: "An ensemble of the very highest class and, I believe, unique of its kind. This formation of young virtuosos will always enrapture its audience." Letter January 1971, Paris.
^ Joonas Kokkonen, member of the Academy of Finland, professor, composer: "On account of what I have heard I can say that the Laiho Brothers represent a high professional standard as virtuosos of their instrument. Their technical skill is extremely reliable, their ensemble playing accurate and well balanced and their rhythm treatment clear-cut and vivacious. The performances give evidence of a natural sense of music which avoids all unnecessary exaggerations. In their own field the Laiho Trio is an excellent ensemble." Letter August 1973, Järvenpää.
^ Sir Charles Mackerras, conductor: "I have been extremely impressed with your powers of making three accordions sound like a full orchestra." Letter, July 1973, London.
