#kaija-saariaho — Public Fediverse posts

Not a big opera fan, but hey this is historic:

Finnish women as composer, librettist, conductor and co-star (folk musician Vilma Jää) at the Met in #NYC

#KaijaSaariaho is only the third female composer featured in nearly 150 years at the #Met (starts around 0:25)

From the Busoni/Brahms on to the recent album from #TakacsQuartet, "Takacs Assad Labro," just released in March 2024.

All contemporary works, several of which were written for this recording/setting, from #ClariceAssad, #BryceDessner, and the #Bandoneon performer #JulienLabro. Labro performs on several of the pieces as well (yes, that's a string quartet and the bandoneon --- which works quite nicely!).

There is also an arrangement of a #MiltonNascimento song and a performance of #KaijaSaariaho's "Nocturne."

Honestly, this album was a delight to listen through. There is a real diversity of style and sound here, and all of it packs a real punch. But on first listen, I think it's the closing "Clash" by Assad that feels like the most mandatory listening.

Nice background on the album's origins and recording here: https://www.nativedsd.com/news/message-from-the-producer-bob-attiyeh-talks-about-takacs-quartet/
