Default Pronouncing Scandinavian Names

Hi all...I need a couple of pointers on how to correctly pronounce the names of some Scandinavian composers and musicians. Perhaps write them to rhyme with English words?

Norwegian composer: Geirr Tveitt

Finnish Composer: Taneli Kuusisto

Finnish Composer: Leevi Madetoja

Swedish Composer: Gunnar de Frumerie

Swedish Composer: Ture Rangstrom (with dots over the O)

Thanks in advance! I hate butchering people's names, especially on the radio.
