Till de verkligt framstående finska musikprofilerna hör Kungliga Filharmonikernas hedersdirigent Sakari Oramo och Anu Komsi. Här ger de sig i kast med Saarikoski-sånger av landsmaninnan Kaija Saariaho, ett verk som också beställdes av Komsi. Saariahos uttrycksfullt målande musik bär på en sällsam skönhet som gjorde henne unik i det moderna klassiska musiklivet. Hon gick bort i juni i år, vid 70 års ålder.

En kvinnlig pionjär före Saariaho var Grace Williams. Hon studerade för Vaughan Williams och etablerade sig vid mitten av 1900-talet och var Wales första symfoniker. Hennes Fairest of Stars för sopran och orkester är ett skimrande vackert verk med text ur John Miltons Det förlorade paradiset.

Sinfonia da requiem från 1940 var en japansk beställning på jublande musik för att markera det kejserliga imperiets 2600-årsjubileum. Pacifisten Benjamin Britten inkom med ett fantastiskt kraftfullt men också starkt ödesmättat verk, vilket överraskade alla.  

Konserten inleds med musik av amerikanske Andrew Norman (född 1979), som tidningen Los Angeles Times beskrivit som ”den ledande amerikanske tonsättaren i sin generation”. Vi hör hans fantasifulla, livliga och, som titeln antyder, lössläppta Unstuck.

svenska

Anu Komsi is the soloist and the orchestra is led by Conductor Laureate Sakari Oramo. 


Two prominent Finnish names in music are Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Conductor Laureate Sakari Oramo, and Anu Komsi, celebrated for her crystal-clear soprano and light, high register. Here, they take on Saarikoski Songs by fellow countryman Kaija Saariaho, a piece that was commissioned by Komsi. Saariaho’s expressive, painterly music is infused with a rare beauty that made her unique in the world of modern classical music. She passed away in June earlier this year, at 70 years of age. 

A female pioneer preceding Saariaho was Grace Williams. She studied under Vaughan Williams and became established by the mid-twentieth century, and was also Wales’ first symphonist. Her Fairest of Stars for soprano and orchestra is a shimmering, beautiful piece with text from John Milton’s Paradise Lost.

Sinfonia da Requiem from 1940 was a Japanese commission for a piece of music in celebration of the 2600-year anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Empire. Pacifist Benjamin Britten provided an incredibly powerful, yet deeply fateful work that surprised everyone.  

The concert begins with music by American Andrew Norman (born 1979), which the Los Angeles Times described as “the leading American composer of his generation.” We hear his imaginative, vivid, and – as the title suggests – loose-lipped Unstuck.
