Magnus Lindberg is one of today’s most acclaimed living composers, and currently serves as the New York Philharmonic’s composer-in-residence.
This new recording showcases his famed skills as an orchestral composer. Seht die Sonne (“Behold the Sun”; 2007) is an ideal example of his recent, more approachable style.
GRAFFITI (2009) is Magnus Lindberg’s first large-scale choral work with orchestra, which earned him the 2009 Finnish Composer Society’s Award. The sung texts are a selection of 2000-year-old Latin graffiti inscriptions from the walls of excavated Pompeii houses.
Sakari Oramo and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra are experienced champions of their compatriot’s music; their recording of Sculpture / Campana in aria / Concerto for orchestra was listed by the New York Times among a selection of the 22 most notable recordings of 2008.
