Esa-Pekka Salonen: Out of Nowhere
Feb 23rd, 2013 by dcronin
“Renowned as one of the world’s leading conductors, Esa-Pekka Salonen is also a gifted composer of highly expressive, colorful, and idiomatic music that has found a growing audience… If there is one influence that shines through this darkly brilliant score, it seems to be Sibelius, for Salonen shares much of the master’s sensitivity to low timbres and evocative use of effects to create vivid musical images.” –All Music Guide
