Review
"Seven years ago Karen Tweed and Timo Alakotila convened an unusual ensemble which made a singular CD called May Monday.
She is an ancestrally-Irish, English accordionist. He is a Finnish pianist. Both are composers and influential, ear-opening music educators.
Midnight is a perhaps even lovelier sequel. Its core quartet (now billed as 'May Monday') also includes a superb Swedish guitarist and an
English fiddler, of Swedish ancestry. A bassoonist is among their various guests. Just a few of many tags which fit: 'traditional',
'brand new', 'refined', 'robust', 'profoundly lyrical' and 'nicely quirky'."
