Silesian String Quartet, NYYD Ensemble & Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, Olari Elts

The first ECM disc from the only composition pupil to date of Erkki-Sven Tüür, gifted young Estonian Helena Tulve, whose work speaks in its own unique language through a variety of chamber music settings and with a fluid approach to form, sound and sonority. It includes four premiere recordings amongst her six played by the celebrated NYYD Ensemble under outstanding conductor Olari Elts, the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet and the Silesian String Quartet.

“It's not music that goes out of its way to be ingratiating, but as this highly impressive collection shows, behind this take-it-or-leave-it facade lurks music of real personality and expressive depth, whether in Lijnen, the 2003 cycle of settings of poems by Roland Jooris, or the rebarbative saxophone quartet Öö.” The Guardian, 27th June 2008 ****
