Kaija Saariaho: Chamber Works for Strings, Vol. 2

Spoiler for album art:

Spoiler for image of artist:

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
