About
'I have identified a factor which not only these two works but all of my more recent works share: the reconciliation of opposing worlds. This correlates somehow with my own life: analytical Modernism blended with intuitive Romanticism, a scientific world-view combined with a magical one, and so on. I have found such apparent conflicts to be fruitful both as a basis for creative processes and as an approach to life itself.’ Harri Vuori

… a colourful, muscular language, full of spectacular orchestral effects which include just a few too many massed glissandos yet generate moments of real power and disquieting expressiveness. If Vuori's faster music sometimes tends to be too reliant on motor rhythms, the shifting, translucent layers of the more reflective passages in both works are striking. The performances by Tuomas Pirilä and the Hyvinkää Orchestra, with whom Vuori is composer in residence, seem vivid and confident. They are well worth investigating.
