Composer:
Lepo Sumera

Artist(s):
David Geringas

Conductor:
Paavo Jarvi

Background: The 6th Symphony can to some extent be regarded as Sumera’s testament: not only is it the last music from his pen, but also possibly the most fascinating, enigmatic and tragically meditative music he ever wrote. It is coupled with two other works from the composer’s last period.

In Musica Profana (1997) for string orchestra there is an elation and rhythmic energy reminiscent of baroque concertos for string instruments. At the same time Sumera’s use of sequential techniques creates an almost minimalistic soundscape.

The Concerto for Cello and Orchestra (1998/99) uses musical ideas from one of Sumera’s student works, but employs them in the fashion of his last period.
