Helena Tulve - Lijnen

First ECM recording from the gifted Estonian composer (born 1972) whose work speaks in its own unique language through a variety of chamber music settings and with a fluid approach to form, sound and sonority. The album begins with her �� travers� for ensemble, which attracted much attention at the 1998 International Rostrum for Composers in Paris and progresses through more recent works including �Lijnen�, with the wonderful voice of Arianna Savall, ���� with the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, and �nec ros, nec pluvia� with the Silesian String Quartet. Tulve has been closely associated with Estonia�s creative chamber group the NYYD Ensemble over the last decade and they deliver committed performances of her work under the direction of outstanding young conductor Olari Elts.
