## Press

Saariaho, goldsmith of her time - three enchanting works provide a rare pleasure of contemporary music.

Jean Vermeil, Classica-Répertoire, February 2005, R10 du mois

Man folgt den Klangwanderungen dieser ungemein erfindungsreichen Komponistin mit zunehmender Spannung und genießt dabei das hingebungsvolle Musizieren des Finnischen Radio-Sinfonieorchesters in einer Klangwelt, die solche Problemstellungen wie „Avantgarde" oder „Postmoderne" erfrischend hinter sich gelassen hat.
