For a description of Antti, the first bass singer, we refer to Ilkka's words:
"Antti posseses a truly remarkable voice,blessed with considerable amplitude and power
from its penetrating top to a lower register full of dark dramatic colours.
Throughout this considerable range he maintains tone quality and evenness of production
so that the listener never has to endure any unmusical sounds even in the
most dramatic passages.
Antti has a distinctive vocal timbre which he can colour in a seemingly infinite number of manners. This fundamental variety of tone produced by a single voice affords one of the richest veins of musical expression which the artistry of a great cantatrice is able to exploit. He is a joy to listen to and watch."
