  • Description

    Finnish composer Lotta Wennakoski (b. 1970) is one of Finland's most distinguished composers of the last two decades. This second album of her music on Ondine includes Wennakoski's international breakthrough work, Flounce (2017) from the BBC Last Night of the Proms recorded by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and its new chief conductor Nicholas Collon. Wennakoski's Harp Concerto Sigla was written for Sivan Magen, the solo harpist of the Finnish RSO. The most consistent feature in Wennakoski's music is its rich palette of tonal colour, not restricted to musical pitches but also incorporating noise as required. Her expression ranges from sensitive lyricism to forceful outbursts. Her output is wideranging, including orchestral music, vocal works, chamber music and solo pieces.
