Description

With the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mihhail Gerts, this recording offers a striking journey through contemporary Estonian soundscapes, from Tamberg's Stravinskian dynamism to Kõrvits's folkloric impressionism, via Tüür's rhythmic reinvention. A bold testament to the modern voice of the bassoon by one of the instrument's greatest representatives.
