Beyond Poems - Chamber Music of Outi Tarkiainen

• Item Name: Chamber Music
• Product Type: ABIS MUSIC
• Brand: Reyana

On this exciting release, Finlands leading contemporary music professionals play poetry-inspired chamber music by Outi Tarkiainen. The works are tinged with the mythical, archaic colors of the North intermixed with the translucency of contemporary music, the sensuality of poetry and the force of tradition. The distinctive recording creates a delicate, telling synthesis of lyricism and contemporary music. Outi Tarkiainen is one of a new generation of composers whose work bears intense witness to the world around it and whose music engages audiences while advancing the art form without compromise. I see music as a force of nature, Outi has said, that can flood over a person and even change entire destinies. Among the renowned artists featured are soprano Tuuli Lindeberg, accordionist Veli Kujala, and the Kamus String Quartet.
