Darkness In Light
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The style in which the Finnish composer Sebastian Fagerlund composes might be described as āmagic realismā, combining elements of surrealism with factual narrative. Drawing upon the symphony orchestraās full spectrum of colours, the music reflects not only the traditions of impressionism, modernism and post-minimalism but also reveals the composerās acute ear for other genres, from cool jazz to ambient music. An earlier recording of orchestral works by Fagerlund was described by the enthusiastic reveiwer in BBC Music Magazine as displaying 'boundless technical resource at the service of a considerable imagination'. These qualities, and his receptivity towards different musical traditions Fagerlund shares with Pekka Kuusisto, to whom the violin concerto Darkness in Light is dedicated. The title of the work is a subtle reference to a quote from author Haruki Murakamiās novella Firefly: āDeath is not the opposite of life, but a part of itā, and illustrates how the music transcends distinctions: darkness and light, tonality and atonality, orchestra and soloist, destruction and renewal ā there cannot be one without the other. The disc closes with the orchestral work Ignite, composed for the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra which performs it here, under its chief conductor Hannu Lintu. The work takes its name from the constant collision of ideas that āignitesā new energy, but in terms of form the inspiration has been the spiral, a shape found in DNA and mussel shells as well as in whirlwinds and the structure of galaxies. With a duration of 30 minutes, the work is organized in four movements separated by brief interludes ā all of which are played without interruption.
