Happy to share!! :) Make sure to come back to it - unfortunately, the publishing rights are limited to five years at the moment.

Interesting how an organ nowadays can take the same place as a grand piano in front of an orchestra! And without knowing so much about Esa- Pekka Salonens composing I still find this music fascinating.

We are happy to hear this! Thanks!

This is just an extraordinary piece! The genius of Salonen perfectly capturing the power of an organ with the orchestra; wonderful! Feels like Jongen’s Symphony concertante and Widor’s Symphony for Organ and Orchestra were combined. Brilliant! Now we just need a streaming, digital, and CD release!

So do we!!

Excellent piece! Some really amazing moments. Lots of fusion, even some medieval elements in there! Beautiful and inventive colours and of course brava to Iveta Apkalna who played a challenging part! Bravi to the orchestra as always. I am glad Maestro Salonen has been able to devote more time to composing.

Interesting: A solid wall of sound !

wonderful! I noticed that Salonen or Apkalna changed the section at 31:21 and 32:02 ? I liked the Olivier Latry take on that part a bit better! but anyway, the concert and the orchestra was phenomenal!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieses einzigartig konstruierten doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit durchsichtigen doch warmherzigen Tönen der genialen Solo-orgel sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und ebenso geniale Komponist/Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!

Der Part ab 30:10 klingt ein bisschen nach Perotin :)

I wonder what it the point of writing such music in 2023

Thank you! But I doubt that music that could have been written at least 50 years ago can really be considered as "contemporary".

Who was writing music like this 50 years ago? I would enjoy hearing it.

I am totally unable to appreciate any of this - for me music really stopped at the romantic composers - and I would include Sibelius as one the last great. But I must have been very ignorant and not able to understand anything from the modern composers.

What an amazing world you’re missing!

Music consisting entirely of sound and scoring, without any musical substance - the notes are merely decorative within the whole and quasi-thematic ideas are entirely random and have no character.
