Background: This hybrid SACD contains a rare recital performance of star soprano Karita Mattila in her native Finland. In front of an electrified audience, the best-selling Finnish artist in classical music performed in sold-out concerts at the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki in October 2006.

The centrepiece of the featured programme is the ecstatic song cycle Quatre Instants, a musical setting by Karita Mattila's compatriot, Kaija Saariaho, of poetry by Amin Maalouf. Described as 'a quasi-operatic monologue that plunges into the erotic, extreme territory that Mattila conveys so well', Quatre Instants was written for Mattila in 2002 and premièred by her in Paris and London to international acclaim. This SACD recording represents the first commercial release of the piece.
