Awards and reviews
July 2020
Both [concertos] are performed with fire and commitment by Lindberg’s compatriots…For 2014’s Accused they are joined by soprano soloist Anu Komsi, who proves impressively equal to its challenging, three-language coloratura. However, her dramatic task feels unclear.
Nov/Dec 2020
Hannu Lintu and the Finnish Radio Orchestra seem deeply committed to the music, playing with abandon as well as technical security. This is an easy recommendation to anyone interested in the music being composed today. A very thorough and helpful set of program notes and clear but never clinical recorded sound round out the production.
August 2020
[Komsi] is in strong, agile voice and can do special things, not least in her final utterance...Lintu’s Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra is, yet again, on eye-widening form.
