Joanna Gutowska - Works for Cello CD

Joanna Gutowska - Works for Cello [COMPACT DISCS] : Joanna Gutowska writes: "The album Kaija Saariaho - Works for Cello has been inspired by Saariaho's extremely rich musical language, which significantly influenced my artistic development and inspired me to further exploration of colors. The album largely refers to my doctoral dissertation 'Kaija Saariaho's cello works as an example of new qualities of sound and expression,' in which I focused on identifying the key factors that contributed to the development of her original musical language. It mainly focuses on the composer's small instrumental works (Petals for cello and electronics [1988], Spins and Spells for solo cello [1996], Mirrors for cello and flute [1997], Neiges for eight cellos [1998], Sept Papillons for cello solo (2000), and Light and Matter for violin, piano and cello [2014])."
