I have only listened to this once while doing work, so I can’t quite comment on what the music is like, but it is on the heavy side for sure. If you are not familiar with Salonen, he is known more for his work as a conductor and I liked his account of Herrmann’s and Stravinsky’s music. Salonen once suggested that his music is more similar to that of Debussy and Ravel than that of Stravinsky, and I find this work to be "teetering on the edge of tonality" (quoted from a reviewer). This is beautifully played by the Finnish Radio Symphony and Leila Josefowicz, at least enough to warrant the score of 10/10 on ClassicsToday. Even if you don’t find this very pleasing, I would keep this for "academic" purposes… ๐
Enjoy!
This is why I like this forum. I find stuff I’d never even think to look for, much less listen to.
Thanks.
