Kaija Saariaho – Let the wind speak (CD)

This 2015 release by Ondine offers a unique glimpse into the flute chamber works of Kaija Saariaho (b. 1952), one of the leading contemporary composers intentionally. The disc includes works coering four decades, from 1982 to 2012 performed by flutist Camilla Hoitenga. Hoitenga is joined by cellist Anssi Kattunen, Da Camera of Houston, baritonist Daniel Belcher and harpist Heloise Dautry. This release includes, among others, the world premiere recording of Sombre, a work originally commisioned by the Da Camera Society of Houston, Texas to be premiered at the Rothko Chapel.
