“The works of an ambassador of contemporary music, Kalevi Aho’s two concertos show that the strengths of contemporary music include an ability to define its own place within all of music’s genres, without limiting its own style to only one. The combination of sounds from rarely heard percussive instruments to almost Romantic phrases are interpreted with complete dedication by all the soloists and orchestras alike.”
