The music of Kaija Saariaho
Manage episode 255584775 series 1301175
Tom Service takes an introductory journey through the beguiling sound world of Kaija Saariaho.
Finnish-born, Paris-based Saariaho's music, at once dark and dazzling, immediate and sensual, has ensured her position as one of the world's leading living composers. From operas which explore the big human themes, to orchestral and instrumental works which fuse electronic and acoustic sounds, her voice is completely distinctive and instantly recognisable, a triumph of extraordinary imagination and determination over an unpromising family background.
