Background: The world premiere recording of Kaija Saariaho's song cycle Cinq reflets de L'Amour de loin (Five Reflections on Love from Afar), which consists of material adapted from the successful opera of the same name. Cinq reflets is a symphonic song cycle in its own right, a reflection of love, nostalgia and fulfilment based in the 12th century.

Nymphea Reflection stems from Nymphea, a work written for the Kronos Qt and electronics 14 years earlier. The composer used the computer in many ways in the creation of this work, for instance basing the entire harmonic material of the work on an analysis of a single abrasive note played on the cello. The work also provokes strong extramusical associations. Its title alludes to a painting of water lilies by Claude Monet.

Oltra mar (Across the sea) is about a voyage, a symbol of Man's attempt to understand the universe. It was written for the New York Philharmonic in 1998-1999.
