In Feb­ru­ary 2017 Dom­in­ante recor­ded music for a new album in the Rii­himäki gar­ris­on church. The record Vir­taa con­sists of pieces com­mis­sioned and premiered by Dom­in­ante dur­ing the past dec­ade. The record also includes the monu­ment­al “Mer­en virsi” by Toivo Kuula, which was recor­ded togeth­er with Dominante’s former singers.

The album was recor­ded and pro­duced by Ger­man Chris­ti­an Starke, who also recor­ded and pro­duced the choir’s pre­vi­ous record (Joulun täh­den 2013). 

Dominante’s Joulun täh­den record fea­tures tra­di­tion­al Christ­mas songs both from Fin­land and else­where in Europe. The songs are mostly in their ori­gin­al form but there are a couple of new arrange­ments in the mix as well. 

The record was pro­duced and recor­ded in Janu­ary 2013 by Ger­man Chris­ti­an Starke. Along with Dom­in­ante, Finnish music­al pro­fes­sion­als such as the solo pic­coloist of the Finnish Radio Sym­phony Orches­tra – Hanna-Kaar­ina Heikin­heimo – and organ­ist Olli Pyylampi, are heard on the record. Lyr­ic­al bari­tone Elja Puukko and harp­ist Saara Rau­tio make an excel­lent addi­tion to this record­ing full of Christ­mas atmosphere. 

Dom­in­ante was hon­oured to take part in BIS record label’s long-last­ing pro­ject of record­ing Jean Sibeli­us’ com­plete works. Dom­in­ante recor­ded a vari­ety of Sibeli­us’ chor­al com­pos­i­tions, both a cap­pella and accom­pan­ied by an orches­tra. Even some of Sibeli­us’ stu­dent works were found from uni­ver­sit­ies’ archives and rehearsed. Among them were many for­got­ten rar­it­ies. A rep­res­ent­at­ive selec­tion of Dom­in­ante’s grand effort was com­piled to this sep­ar­ately pub­lished album. Mon­ica Groop, Jorma Hynnin­en, Folke Gräs­beck and Harri Viitan­en appear on the record along Dom­in­ante choir. 

By Dom­in­ante Choir; Mon­ica Groop; Jorma Hynnin­en; Seppo Murto. By Jean Sibeli­us (1865–1957). Listen­ing CD. Pub­lished by BIS Records (NX.BIS-1889).

Finnish music of love and affec­tion. Three com­mis­sioned pieces are recor­ded on this album, togeth­er with pieces that touch on the ever­last­ing theme of a rela­tion­ship between two people. 

The record is pro­duced by Titta Lampela and recor­ded by Mika Koivus­alo. It was pub­lished in 2008 and was chosen as chor­al record of the year by SULASOL ry and the Finnish Chor­al Con­duct­ors’ Association.

Dominante’s Christ­mas album Riemuitkaa con­tains famil­i­ar as well as less heard Christ­mas songs fea­tured in the choir’s rep­er­toire between the 1980s and the early 1990s. The main piece of the record is the Gaud­­ete-suite by Anders Öhr­wall, which was ori­gin­ally com­posed for the Swedish Youth Radio choir. It’s based on the pop­u­lar Christ­mas-themed songs found in the col­lec­tion Piae Can­tiones. The album was recor­ded in Janu­ary 1993 by Ber­til Alving.
