Lovely words about AION in Helsingin Sanomat, after the performance in Helsinki with the @helsinkiphilharmonic and Eva Ollinainen 🌸

Lovely words about AION in Helsingin Sanomat, after the performance in Helsinki with the @helsinkiphilharmonic and Eva Ollinainen 🌸 “AION is not a traditional tone poem depicting nature - it is an abstract modern work that proceeds according to the music’s own internal logic. At the same time, it is a concrete, sensory ecosystem. … The work conjured an atmospheric sound-world that enveloped the listener, drawing them into its depths. … AION’s tectonic shifts were in constant motion, often layered and pulling in opposing directions. The work has a taut, distinctive architecture, which Ollikainen commanded with complete authority. … Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring pairs perfectly with AION. The element of earth also rules The Rite, and both works transport the listener to a mythical realm.” - Hannu-Ilari Lampinen, Helsingin Sanomat
Very grateful for receiving the Iceland Music Awards last night for the cello concerto, Before we fall — I wasn’t able to be there in person so @gydnid from the Iceland Symphony received it on my behalf, takk Guðni! 🫶

Warmest thanks
