Erkki-Sven Tüür

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Long before Jonny Greenwood was writing orchestral music for the BBC and films, Erkki-Sven Tüür was making the transition from Estonian rock star to serious world-class composer. We sample a bit of his artistry, from the tightly-knit, string-infused "Illusion" to the grandly fluctuating soundscape set forth in his "Requiem."

Also Featured Tonight:

Philip Glass / Songs and Poems for Solo Cello
Finn Savery / Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano
Hans Werner Henze / Drei Tentos
John McLaughlin / Duos for Guitar and Piano
Manuel Enriquez / Rapsodia Latinoamericana
