Tüür's material is passionately direct, with intricate, trailing lines and passages of ominously intense stasis puncuated by explosive climaxes. Lintu shapes it with spirit - and most convincingly.

Hannu Lintu's Finnish Radio SO show their class in all three performances, each full of considered phrasing, deep listening and impressive agility (the same can be said of the soloists). Tüür is blossoming into a composer of true significance. Go listen.
