Ondine celebrates Finnish composer Jouni Kaipainen's 50th birthday on November 24, 2006, with the release of a new recording of his recent works. The new disc ([ODE 1089-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1089-2)) couples Kaipainen's Third Symphony (1999-2004) with the Bassoon Concerto (2005), performed by the same forces who gave the two works' world premières (Otto Virtanen, bassoon / Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra / Hannu Lintu, conductor). Following its première performance, the Finnish press described the Third Symphony as "energetic, intense, virtuoso, ecstatic - abundantly voluptous". Previous releases of Kaipainen's works on Ondine include the Cello and the Horn Concertos ([ODE 1062-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1062-2)), the Oboe Concerto coupled with the Second Symphony ([ODE 855-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-855-2)), and the Clarinet Concerto ([ODE 778-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-778-2)).
