A striking collection of contemporary classical works performed by Sweden's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Sakari Oramo, featuring soprano Lisa Larsson and instrumentalists of real caliber. Martinsson is a respected Swedish composer whose music sits between tradition and modernism—accessible yet formally adventurous. The pieces collected here showcase orchestral color and nuance, with writing that rewards close listening. This SACD recording captures the performances with exceptional clarity and spatial definition, letting you hear the subtle voice-leading and instrumental voices in full detail. Contemporary classical can feel forbidding, but Martinsson's music is inviting—emotional without being sentimental, complex but not opaque. A genuine addition to serious classical listening.
