Wie nur wenigen dürfte es Hakola hier gelungen sein, moderne Orientierungslosigkeit in ein kunstvolles, gestaltenreiches Maskenspiel zu übersetzen. (...) Henri Sigfridsson ist hier fast im Dauereinsatz, und seine enorme Technik kommt ihm bei dieser Mammutaufgabe sicher sehr zu Hlfe. Finnish composer Kimmo Hakola was recently portrayed by The New York Times as, "possessed of a joyful, mischievous spirit." The article described his music as "mixing together shapely lyricism, atonality, quirky folkishness and an almost hedonistic approach to timbre and rhythm" - an ideal characterization of the monumental Piano Concerto, which is the main feature on this new CD release in celebration of Hakola's 50th birthday. |
