Sudenmorsian

Sudenmorsian: I'm very interested in finding a recording of this little radio opera by Pylkkänen, or at least a copy of the libretto to read (not the original story of Kallas that it was derived from). I'm nearly convinced no commercial recording exists, but AskMe is sometimes miraculous...

A record for the score is in this here catalog (it's the union catalog for Finnish music; just search for "Sudenmorsian" as a keyword). The score itself is -- I think -- 82 sheets and might be in Italian. Regardless, you could make an ILL request and maybe get a facsimile of it.

You could also either contact the National Library of Finland or the Finnish Music Library Association for more information.

Also, the Library of Congress has the libretto. I can't link directly to the item record, but just search for Wolf Bride (no apostrophe s behind "Wolf") as Title and two items will come up. One is the sheet music, the other is the libretto.

Here's the LC's interlibrary loan policy for US libraries -- they'll very likely send it to you if you request it.
