Kaija Saariaho: Chamber Works for Strings, Vol. 2





Saariaho is a 65 year old Finnish composer. She studied under the brilliant Brian Ferneyhough who I wrote about earlier. However, Saariaho is by no means a Ferneyhough disciple. She found his strict adherence to the sonic fractals of Schoenberg’s serialism overly confining and decided she was more suited to express herself as a spectralist growing more from the seeds of Olivier Messiaen.

This album showcases beautiful lyrical contemporary classical music.

5/5 Stars

Well thanks for putting this **** back into my head, *******.

Must suck to be the kind of person that could somehow find that tripe memorable.

Watch out, or that **** will get stuck in your head too. But have you never seen the movie? Cause it helps to get that **** stuck if you watch Frozen.

I've seen the movie. Still too cynical.

**** no

That **** is boring.

I'm surprised you even like dogs.

I'd tell you to harm yourself until the inevitable conclusion, but that is frowned upon on this site.

Until I become emo enough to like very bad art designed for uninteresting middle schoolers?

Congrats you went somewhere I won’t go.

I’m finding it harder to outsource work than I expected it to be. Machine wrote a wonderful review of Teen Suicide and Ori on Slayer - I think getting different voices and perspectives is fun. It’s exciting to me and makes the journal much better. I really want the other requests to come in.
